The pathways are designed to be used in multidisciplinary workshops to explore alternative approaches to care. Importantly, many of the changes advocated are not resource intensive and focus instead on working differently. Important features of this pathway include supporting and preparing women for labour and a belief that 'all pregnancies are normal unless proven otherwise' alongside the need for consistent, balanced information setting out the known risks and benefits of all modes of birth.
