The Labour Ward Handbook

The Labour Ward Handbook is a concise manual that gives detailed guidance on the care of women in labour. Dealing more with the practice than the theory of labour ward management, this book concentrates on what the clinician should do and when in particular situations. It addresses all aspects of care (including communication and risk management) and is consistent with:
RCOG guidelines
NICE guidance on induction of labour and fetal monitoring
Cochrane reviews
CNST standards for maternity

The format of the book makes retrieval of information quick and simple, and includes checklists to ensure that each patient is cared for and treated appropriately.

The Labour Ward Handbook will be invaluable to obstetricians of all grades, midwives, labour ward managers and all other professionals who are interested in the conduct of labour and risk management in the delivery suite.

If you work on the labour ward this is the book to have with you at all times.
