Popis: A combination of practitioner, consumer and government pressure has resulted in a radical reappraisal of the role of the midwife over the last decade, expanding their sphere of practice into new responsibilities. This article will examine the effect this has had on managing midwifery services. It will start with background material by outlining the core role of the midwife, the position of midwifery management within trusts and the causes and origins of the expansion of midwives’ sphere of practice. This will be followed with an assessment of the managerial implications, problems and advantages of the changes in the role of the midwife.
