Description: Exploring the impact of caseload midwifery on preterm birth among vulnerable and disadvantaged women: a multi-centre randomised controlled trial.
Premature babies can have poorer short and long term health outcomes, and this is especially the case for infants of women who are socially disadvantaged. How care is provided can impact health outcomes. Caseload midwifery is a model of care where women have continuity from a ‘known’ midwife during pregnancy, labour, birth and after the birth.
