I was one of the many midwives who excoriated the Midwifery Council with feedback for the first version of this document. This revised version is really no better. They seem to think that by reluctantly adding in a couple of "women" they have placated us. Not me. A heap of crap smells no differently just because you spray it with air freshener.

Very interesting. I want woman and baby language to continue.

Thanks Katrina, another great article. These 'types', use the language of confusion in the hope they confuse. They can't bring themselves to say the care of mother and baby is what counts. I do wonder what they'd do if they were faced with two planes when flying.

One plane is flown by a pilot and crew are trained to fly the plane and passengers safely and securely and with utmost skill each and every time. The other is flown by a diverse group with ways of knowing who identify a different way each day.
