RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 General practitioners' views of working with team midwifery. JF British Journal of General Practice JO Br J Gen Pract FD British Journal of General Practice SP 211 OP 213 VO 50 IS 452 A1 M Farquhar A1 C Camilleri-Ferrante A1 C Todd YR 2000 UL http://bjgp.org/content/50/452/211.abstract AB This report presents the results of a survey of general practitioners (GPs) working alongside a midwifery team in south-east England. Sixty-nine per cent of the GPs thought team midwifery was a good idea in theory. However, just 37% thought it was working well locally and 56% reported that they would like to go back to working in the way they did before. Of greatest concern was the decline in interprofessional communications and the loss of continuity for patients. Therefore, team midwifery, as implemented in this locality, may not attain the goals aimed at by the organisation of care in this way.
