Today our chapter: Birth Systems across the World: Variations in maternity policy and services across countries was published in the renowned series of books: FIGO Continuous Textbook of Women’s Medicine [1].  This chapter was co-authored by Prof. Edwin van Teijlingen in the Centre for Midwifery, Maternal & Perinatal Health (CMMPH) with Prof. Sirpa Wrede and Doctoral Researcher Johanna Sarlio-Nieminen both from the University of Helsinki (Finland) and Dr. Anastasia Novkunskaya from the European University at St. Petersburg (Russia).   The chapter includes a set of recommendations for future practice.

Volume 1 is edited by Prof. Jane Sandall from King’s College London.  Earlier this year Prof. Sandall was appointed as the first-ever head of midwifery research for England and one of her key focuses will be around ending racial health inequalities in maternity care.
