Renowned midwife and author Caroline Flint joins us at the bookshop for a one hour meet-and-greet, when she will happily answer your questions and sign copies of her books, Do Birth and Sensitive Midwifery.

About the Author
Caroline Flint knew from the age of eight years old, when her baby sister was born at home, that she wanted to be a midwife. Since then she has become an inspirational figure in the world of childbirth. She has been a midwife for nearly 50 years working in hospitals, women’s homes and she ran the Birth Centre in London for over two decades. She is a former President of the Royal College of Midwives (1994‑5), a founder member of the Association of Radical Midwives, and the first Chair of the Midwives Information and Resource Service.
Caroline has three children of her own and 12 grandchildren – nine of which she delivered. She continues to run antenatal courses for the NCT.

About the Books:
Sensitive Midwifery
This new and enlarged edition gives even more practical advice for today's midwife, student midwife and birthkeeper, but it also explores the ethical and moral dilemmas that face today's practitioner. The delightful illustrations by Helen Chown keep the book fascinating, fun and easy to read, and the input and wise editing of Deborah Hughes add great depth to what will become essential reading for every midwife. Lots of practical advice, from positions in labour, to breastfeeding, to setting up support groups for women, midwives and families.
Born out of a total of nearly a century of midwifery practice, this book charts the way through the moral dilemmas and difficulties which face today's midwife (and obstetrician) and has been used by medical students to learn how to suture, how to perform a caesarean section and, at the same time, how to care for women gently and sensitively.
Buy this book for your favourite midwife or medical student.
