5.0 out of 5 stars The one to buy for a student midwife in your life.
Verified PurchaseBrilliant book, all clinical skills under one roof. As a first year student midwife this would be one book I’d recommend anyone to buy. My lecturers all use it too. I’m working my way through it and it’s approachable language and clinical accuracy make it a very valuable resource. Thank you!
