I agree but then I also think that if you work in the same place you also become 'expert' at it, you know how to get bloods done quick by know X in the lab, you know how to make tempramental machines work, you know who has what skills in an emergency... I can see the pluses and minuses, I think we need a mixture of both but midwives need to remain open minded to new ways of doing things, new research and evidence based practice....
