Write a 2,000 word reflection on care provided in the intrapartum or postnatal period. This will be related to a woman to whom the student has provided some continuity of career.
Critically review and reflect on the intrapartum or postnatal care given, choosing one aspect of care to analyse in-depth.
By critically reviewing this episode of care, reflect on the outcome of care given providing in-depth and detailed rationales for the decisions made, drawing on relevant evidence to support critical review.
