Evans K et al. - A high proportion of pregnant women attending for urgent assessment do not need emergency care and they have lower clinical priority compared with women who have serious complications in labour. The study found that 60% of the sample were cared for by a midwife alone and just one in three underwent direct medical assessment. The proportion cared for by midwives alone varied widely according to the presenting condition; more than 90% of those with reduced fetal movement but just one in three of those attending with antepartum haemorrhage.
