title: Creating change in improbable places: the Birth Project Group.
abstract: The Birth Project Group, a collaborative initiative based in Edinburgh and Dublin and comprising practising midwives, academics and birth advocates, held its second weekend workshop in April 2010. This brought together those involved in working to sustain and strengthen changes to the contemporary birth culture so as to promote normality. This article reports on the feedback from some of the attendees, which included parents, midwives and student midwives.
