About this work
Description
"I am a student midwife training in the North of England. All views are my own, and unless otherwise stated do not necessarily reflect the views of my university, or the NHS trust I am training in. This blog is not intented as medical advice and should not be taken as such. I wrote the Midwifery Quest blog as a trainee midwife, undertaking the 3 year direct entry BSc in Midwifery in the UK. I've collected the writing together into a zine to allow it to reach a different audience. I wrote the blog primarily for myself, as a way of tracking my journey outside of the university's system of assessments and placements."--From Introduction.
