Leadership and management in midwifery-led continuity of care models: A thematic and lexical analysis of a scoping review (11 March 2021)

Summary

Although midwifery-led continuity of care is associated with superior outcomes for mothers and babies, it is not available to all women. Issues with implementation and sustainability might be addressed by improving how it is led and managed – yet little is known about what constitutes the optimal leadership and management of midwifery-led continuity models. Hewitt et al. carried out a scoping review on leadership and management in midwifery-led continuity of care models.
