English midwives and the Association of Radical Midwives.

Concern about the apparently shrinking role of the British midwife led in 1976 to the formation of the Association of Radical Midwives (ARM). This paper describes the emergence and ideas of ARM. Comparison of ARM philosophy with the beliefs of a sample of English midwives reveals considerable support for ARM's non-medicalized philosophy of childbirth and its specific proposals for systemic change. Few English midwives, however, consider themselves "radical midwives" or agree with ARM that their role has shrunk and training suffered. The conclusions suggest several reasons why English midwives' support for ARM and its beliefs is limited.

What can midwives learn from the babes? Implications for midwives of a maternity care programme for nursing students.

In view of certain problems inherent in the maternity care experience for nursing students, the department of nursing studies in the University of Edinburgh has introduced a novel form of this experience. This programme reflects the philosophy of the department. The evaluation of this programme has revealed that the women who participated perceive that this scheme is of value in a range of respects. Some of these perceived benefits may provide useful insights for midwives regarding how the consumers view their care.
