Something useful from the Royal College of Midwives (!)

UM is pleased to report finding something of interest and usefulness on the RCM website!

Since the unjustified smothering of the Normal Birth Campaign by the RCM about 4 or 5 years ago and the removal of the excellent NBC resources from the RCM website, there has been very little of interest on it.  

However this may be of interest to all those setting up (minus the present SARs-Covid-2 interruption) much longed for and safety-enhancing Continuity of Care schemes:

It's a little sparse on detail but the issue of proper rostering and staffing is fundamental to CoC and it is faintly encouraging to see the RCM has some grasp of this.
