Reconceiving Midwifery gathers interdisciplinary perspectives on the changing role of midwives across developed health systems. Contributors—social scientists and practicing midwives—trace historical roots, regional variation, and the shifting regulatory landscape that shapes professional practice.

The essays examine midwifery education, accessibility for diverse ethnic and socio-economic groups, and measures of effectiveness as services are folded into mainstream care. Provincial experiences are used to highlight challenges and strategies during initial integration and the period that follows.

Valuable for health professionals, policymakers, researchers, and midwifery practitioners, this volume offers comparative analysis and practical insight into workforce development and service delivery.

• Regional case studies and comparative perspective
