Rezensionen

"Overall, The Student's Guide to Becoming a Midwifeis an excellent all-round book to accompany any midwifery student throughout their training. . . I would recommend it to students in direct entry and shortened programmes of study as well as any practitioners returning to practice or wishing to update their study skills."
