Sara Wickham - Holistic Ways of Knowing
Modern midwives may be exhorted to base their practice on the findings
of research, but women and midwives use many other ways of knowing, in
conjunction with research evidence. Sara will explore the concept of
birth and midwifery knowledge from a holistic perspective; looking at
what we know, how we know it and the ways in which different kinds of
knowledge and ways of knowing relate to each other in practice.
