Abstract
THE Central Midwives Board, which controls and regulates the work of practising midwives, has issued its annual report for the year ended March 31, 1939 (H.M. Stationery Office. 4d. net). The number of women practising as midwives in England and Wales in 1938 was 16,761, some 700 less than in the previous year. During the year covered by the report, now training and examination rules of the Board came into operation. the training rules require practising midwives to attend courses of instruction from time to time. A report on the examinations held during the year is included, together with notes of various decisions by the Board on midwives’ training, etiquette and practice. the report also refers to preparatory arrangements made by the Board for an efficient midwifery service during a national emergency.
