Midwives must maintain good relations, in the interests of patients, with members of the health professions. They must respect their professional independence.
As soon as circumstances require, the midwife must offer to consult a doctor. She must accept any consultation with a doctor requested by the patient or her relatives. In either case, she may suggest the name of a doctor but must take account of the patient’s wishes and accept, unless there is a serious reason, the doctor suggested to her. If the midwife does not feel that she should agree…
After the consultation or intervention of the doctor called in, the midwife, in agreement with the patient, takes over the direction of care under her own responsibility.
