The Centre for Midwifery, Maternal & Perinatal Health started well this September with four publications in academic and practitioners’ journal. Starting with final-year student midwife Joanna Lake who just had an article published in The Practising Midwife.1
Secondly, BU midwifery staff Jen Leamon and Sue Way together with HSC Visiting Fellow Suzie Cro also have had an article published this month in the same journal.2
Susanne Grylka-Baeschlin, a midwife from Switzerland who spent time at BU as an international visitor (see http://blogs.bournemouth.ac.uk/research/2014/07/02/latest-hsc-midwifery-paper-in-open-access/) had her paper published in BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth this month.3
And last, but not least, Wendy Marsh, based in HSC’s Portsmouth office had a paper in the September issue of the British Journal of Midwifery.4
Congratulations,
Prof. Edwin van Teijlingen
