Our recent work and on-going research has four areas of focus.
Some projects link two or more areas.
All these projects aim to produce findings which can be used by health professionals seeking to facilitate inclusive and sensitive maternity care. Our on-going exploration of the inverse care law is also part of bringing these pressures to the conscious attention of midwives so that professional debate can follow. We would place under this heading the four forum theatre projects in that they aim to give midwives a safe setting within which to develop their practice. The first project concerned student midwives' dilemmas in clinical practice. A forum theatre project on bullying is being planned.
