Australian midwives view perineal suturing as a valid midwifery skill that can contribute to continuity of care. However, organisational barriers exist to skill development and greater utilisation. See our latest cross-sectional survey sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

We need cease and desist with low-value care. Check out our latest blog. @TransformingMCC is all about changing the maternity care system to provide even evidence based, woman-centred care. @SlavinValerie @birthsmalltalk @JyaiAllen – at Coventry, England
Some maternity interventions are inappropriate. They lack evidence, don’t work, cause harm, or waste resources. But getting rid of them requires strategy.
