Midwifery Crisis: Lack of Trust & Failing System

Great reception for BU’s first spotlight lecture - lots of thought provoking questions. Delighted to have been part of it.

It is still possible to publish by subscription route in some journals (e.g. Midwifery) - authors do not pay but the article is only available to readers with subscriptions. You can then make a version (format depends on journal) open access through your university.
