The culture of midwifery in the National Health Service in England
Abstract
The culture of midwifery in the National Health Service in England The culture of midwifery in the National Health Service was examined in order to foster understanding of the context of midwifery practice. In‐depth interviews were conducted with midwives in five, very different, sites across England. The culture which emerged was one of service and sacrifice where midwives lacked the rights as women which they were required to offer to their clients. There was a lack of mutual support and of positive role models of support with considerable pressure to conform. Guilt and self‐blame were common as was learned helplessness and muting. The dilemmas of this culture are considered and the resistance which it offered to change in relationships. Change was either resisted, brought about by stealth or strategically planned to equip midwives to change their culture.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
