Overdue: Birth, burnout and a blueprint for a better NHS

English

By (author): Amity Reed

Amity Reed became a midwife to serve women, but the reality of working in over-stretched and underfunded NHS maternity services soon shattered her illusions. Shes not alone for every 30 midwives that train, 29 will leave the profession. Overdue is both the devastating personal story behind the statistics, and a call for change in the NHS. Real-life stories capture the moments at the heart of midwifery: life, death, birth, tragedy and joy, and are embedded in a clear-sighted examination of what is working and what isnt in maternity services. The result is a book that asks and tries to answer questions that are at the heart of many peoples working lives: how can we follow our calling, provide for our families and keep ourselves healthy, if the workplace and its systems are working against us?
