With increasing diversity in the UK’s childbearing population and ongoing racial disparities in maternal health outcomes, this new title will help both students and practising midwives provide care that meets the needs of childbearing women and birthing people from different cultural backgrounds.

The book lays the foundations for exploration of the many manifestations of transcultural care and how it relates to women, their families and societies. It covers everything that midwives need to know in order to be sensitive to and aware of cultural differences, needs and preferences during pregnancy and childbirth, ultimately enabling them to provide better care for all.

Written by senior midwifery lecturer Sarah Esegbona-Adeigbe, an experienced practitioner in ethnic minority health, high risk pregnancy and the socio-cultural context of women’s healthcare, Transcultural care in midwifery practice is destined to become a core text in midwifery courses.



Covers main cultural competency models and how to apply cultural competency and cultural safety concepts to individual women
Provides an overview of different cultures and religions to support cultural awareness and sensitivity
Addresses barriers and ethical issues in midwifery care and how to mitigate them
Packed with scenarios, case studies and activities to support learning
Reflective activities in each chapter to reinforce cultural concepts

Sarah works as a senior midwifery lecturer and teaches undergraduate and postgraduate students. She has published papers on culture, black African women and pregnancy, sickle cell anaemia and FGM. Her MSc thesis was an innovation project resulting in the creation of a toolkit on the culture of black African women during pregnancy. In Sarah's former role as a RCN midwifery forum committee member she also contributed to RCN guidance on FGM. Her specialist areas are ethnic minority health, high risk pregnancy and the socio-cultural context of women's healthcare. Sarah has published several papers in this area in peer reviewed journals and self-published a book on Black African Culture and Childbirth
