It is essential that student midwives have a clear understanding of the legal and professional dilemmas they face in the course of their career and how to address those dilemmas in order to practise effectively. This book is an essential resource for student midwives developing their knowledge and understanding of the requirements for safe practice. It provides a clear introduction to the subject, with activities and case studies throughout to illustrate key principles and apply the law in context. This English for specific purpose (ESP) book has come about for a variety of reasons. The most obvious of this is that there was not a book for the students of midwifery. The book consists of some major parts. In the introduction the essence of midwifery is explained. The policy agenda and The National Childbirth Trust (NCT) are the two other subparts of the introduction. Since the book does not deal with high risk pregnancy, the author intended to focus on normal labour and caesarean section with its subparts separately in each section. As a result, five sections are included. In the first four sections normal labour and caesarean section were explained while the last section is about different issues and called miscellaneous. There are three main types of exercises namely comprehention questions, cloze test and translation. The book is based on extensive reading approach. There is also a very important specialized vocabulary for learners intending to pursue academic studies in English. The Academic Word List, compiled by Coxhead (2000), consists of 570 word families that are not in the most frequent 2,000 words of English but which occur reasonably frequently over a very wide range of academic texts. In order to become skilled and competent practitioners, student midwives need to understand the complex individual, family and societal issues they will encounter. By introducing the contemporary context of midwifery practice, this book helps students to understand the problems many women face in society.The book covers topics including violence, mental and sexual health, the rising obesity epidemic and increases in numbers of women from non-UK countries. The authors emphasise the fact that students need to be aware of their public health responsibilities and discuss various health promotion strategies.
