Abstract
Childbirth education (CBE) and health promotion is an integral part of the midwife’s role. With today’s shorter hospital stays for women, the increasing workload and diminished midwifery workforce, women are at risk of receiving inadequate postnatal care and education. The National Centre for Clinical Excellence says “Postnatal care has long been regarded as a ‘Cinderella service’ where in comparison with some other European countries, provision is scanty and inadequate”.1
