Description: In order to accelerate our aspirations to be evidence-based profession I am interested in working with other midwives, with research qualifications, to forge a program of JBI-type reviews on a par with the already high involvement of midwives in the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Review Group. In this way we can build the knowledge base for the discipline of midwifery. Enhanced midwifery knowledge will be a counter to the tyrannical use of evidence-based medicine. Armed with evidence women and midwives will be more empowered to practise in the ways that they decide are the safest, most acceptable and most meaningful.
