ABSTRACT
When plans are being made for improved maternity services the training of doctors and midwives who are to staff them must also be considered. Each of the two professions brings special skills to the service of the parturient. The role of the midwife is to deal with normal obstetrics, to detect abnormalities and to refer patients who develop them to a doctor, and to provide for all mothers and their newborn babies the special nursing care they require (AU)
