title: Making sense of the national sentinel caesarean section audit: an executive summary.
abstract: Midwives enjoy the privileged position of being the senior professional at 72% births in the UK. It is a logical assumption to make that the quality of midwifery care will have an impact on women's experience and outcome. The aim of this article is to help midwives make sense of the results of the National Sentinel Caesarean Section Audit (for England, Wales and Northern Ireland).
