Abstract
THE recently issued Report on the Work of the Central Midwives' Board in Great Britain for the year ended March 31, 1935 (H.M. Stationery Office, 3d. net) is of general interest now that so much attention is being directed to the subject of maternal mortality, in view of the midwives' work for the safety and well-being of mothers. The Midwives' Roll contained the names of 58,964 women, of whom, however, only 15,434 are practising. Of 3,922 new candidates examined, 2,936 passed. Only 18 mid-wives were dealt with by the Board on account of malpractice, negligence or misconduct, a tribute to the general efficiency of the service. The Report contains replies to various questions submitted to the Board for adjudication, and revisions of certain of the rules. Attention is directed to the scarcity of midwifery cases for the training of medical students, and this important matter is now the subject of consideration in conjunction with the General Medical Council.
