Abstract
![CDATA[Collaborative practice is integral to the safety of midwifery practice. Midwives, as primary caregivers, need to negotiate evidence-based decisions with individual women in their care when the woman’s circumstances suggest a need for referral or consultation with another caregiver during pregnancy, labour, birth, or the postnatal period. This chapter outlines the means of collaboration between midwives, the women they care for, and the other healthcare professionals with whom they may need to collaborate.]]
