Practical Skills Guide for Midwifery: A Tool for Midwives and Students

by Pam Weaver, Sharon K. Evans

Midwifery in North America has culminated in a mosaic of art, science and tradition. The Practical Skills Guide for Midwifery has found its way into the mainstream of midwifery texts as a tool for both apprenticeship and the increasing number of formal midwifery schools. Its format is adaptable to both models of education and will help assure a complete course of skills practice. For experienced midwives, it may serve as a guide for clinical review. It is our desire to keep the art and tradition of midwifery alive while maintaining the integrity of the science. The Practical Skills Guide for Midwifery is used as a study guide in preparation for skills examination. The North American Registry of Midwives (NARM) recommends the use of The Practical Skills Guide for Midwifery as a study guide for the Skills Assessment portion of the NARM Portfolio Evaluation Process (PEP). It is recommended that the candidate refer to the Candidate Information Bulletin (CIB) for both the Written Exam and Skills Assessment specifications.

About the author

After training as a Nursery Nurse in the 1960’s, I worked in children’s Homes, private day nurseries and as a Hyde Park nanny. My experiences are in Bath Times & Nursery Rhymes which became a Sunday Times best-seller.

I started writing in 1990’s with small magazines and specialist publications, finally branching out into the women’s magazine market in 2001. I have since written more than 200 articles and at least 150 short stories. They’ve been in Take A Break Fiction Feast, Woman’s Weekly Fiction Special, Weekly News, My Weekly and People’s Friend. Some have been in anthologies with the proceeds going to charity. The Fantastic Bubble was repeated on BBC Radio 4 and the World Service.
My novels are set in Worthing; There’s Always Tomorrow (2011) Better Days Will Come (2012), Pack Up Your Troubles (2013), For Better For Worse (2014), are all published by HarperCollins Avon. Blue Moon (2015) & Love Walked Right In (2016) are published by Pan Macmillan. I also have a couple of novellas on Kindle. Emily’s Christmas Wish (2015) and Amy’s Wartime Christmas will be released in October 2016
