title: Peri-operative care.
abstract: This is the third 'midwifery basics' series aimed at student midwives, and focuses on midwifery care during labour.

Students are encouraged to seek further information through a series of activities, and to link theory with practice by considering the issues relating to the care of the woman described in the short vignette.
