As the rate of homebirths in the UK continues to rise, this essential new book provides a comprehensive and practical guide for anyone involved in the planning, resourcing, and facilitation of safe and respectful birth at home. Blending contemporary academic and clinical practice, this textbook comprehensively covers the entire realm of home birth practice, encompassing antenatal care, delivery, and postnatal care, as well as emergency management at home and practical guidance for managing transfers.

Facilitating a safe home birth necessitates a robust multidisciplinary team approach. Regardless of your role in planning or attending a birth at home, whether you are a student, practicing midwife, paramedic, or obstetrician, this resource will offer valuable insights.

Covering the full spectrum of home birth practice, this resource is tailored to meet the needs of every member of the multidisciplinary team. Written by esteemed experts from diverse backgrounds, including midwives, paramedics, obstetricians, and neonatal nurses from clinical practice, academia, and education, the book presents balanced and unbiased contemporary evidence supporting birth at home.

In-depth discussions explore effective care planning, encompassing the development of homebirth services, practical resources and skills, equipment planning, and geographical considerations. Key topics within midwifery, such as the rise of freebirthing, multidisciplinary team working, and the care of women with complex biopsychosocial needs or from underrepresented communities, are explored in depth.

The book clearly identifies the roles and responsibilities of the multidisciplinary team, making it an invaluable resource for midwifery students embarking on a home birth placement.
