Description
This full-colour book provides midwives with highly practical, readily accessible information on the wide range of infections affecting pregnancy and childbirth. It comprehensively outlines the vital role of the midwife in infection, including prevention, identification of high-risk individuals, educational opportunities, signs and symptoms, sample collection, screening and ongoing care -- consistently revealing ways in which sympathetic, confidential and respectful care are essential to restore a sense of emotional well-being alongside physical recovery. It also serves as a concise compendium of policy guidelines from a variety of specialist areas including Public Health England, The British Association for Sexual Health and HIV, The UK National Screening Committee, The Royal College of Obstetricians, and epic3: National Evidence-based Guidelines for Preventing Healthcare-Associated Infection. Each chapter also includes an invaluable list of online resources where relevant, ideal for keeping abreast of changes to clinical guidance. Infections Affecting Pregnancy and Childbirth is an invaluable reference for all professionals and students of midwifery wanting an empowering, authoritative, hands-on guide for every day reference.
