文摘

We explore women’s preferences for different models of care at hospital level. A thematic analysis of focus groups is undertaken to examine women’s preferences. Women only prefer midwifery-led care when co-located with a consultant-led unit. Women’s preferences are largely driven by safety concerns. Neither model is preferred by women, but rather a hybrid of both.
