Book Reviews

MIDIRS and The NHS Centre for Reviews and Dissemination, with funding from the Department of Health, have produced a parallel series of five leaflets for the use of women and professionals. Colour coded and numbered, they cover a variety of topics relating to pregnancy and childbirth. The leaflets for professionals include a reference list and section giving the ‘Implications for Practice’. Research evidence, mainly from randomized controlled trials, is discussed and interpreted in the text.
