Excellent information!
This book is ideal for student midwives entering into their high risk modules. Clear and concisew information will help with revision and note making.

Excellent handbook
As a 3rd year student midwife I found this to be an excellent handbook written at just the right level to understand without being too basic or complex. Highly recommended for students particularly for any compromised pregnancy module.
