My favourite ethics/midwifery subject is the use of sytometrine for active management of the 3rd stage. Many women arent given the opportunity to make an informed choice and are just stabbed with the the syno and thats it. Its a straightforward topic - active mgt vs physiological mgt and the ethics angle of consent and informed choice. The NMC is very clear on consent and the RCM has position papers on right to refuse treatment and women centered care.
