Title: An Evaluation of an MSc Health Psychology Mentoring Pilot Author(s): Henton, Sally; Maltinsky, Wendy; Rackow, Pamela; Wilson, Anne; Campbell, Catriona; McMillan, Lauren Abstract: Background: A mentoring pilot was run during semester one of the MSc Health Psychology 2021/22 timetable at the University of Stirling. The pilot aimed to support the postgraduate study transition and increase student engagement and connection. Five volunteer mentors from the graduating 2020/21 cohort, met monthly with their sub-group of mentees and delivered information sessions based on mentee feedback. This study is an evaluation of the mentoring pilot scheme, drawing on mentee and mentor feedback to evaluate the overall pilot and the delivery methods trialled.

Title: Making childbirth risky: an unintended consequence of the normal birth agenda? Author(s): Cheyne, Helen Abstract: First paragraph: Zepherina Veitch was a nurse and a midwife in the late 19th century. She was a founder of the Midwives Institute (which ultimately became the Royal College of Midwives), and she worked to improve the training and status of midwives, at a time when maternal and infant mortality in Britain was high; infant mortality was around 150 in 1000 births (1), and approximately 3000 women died in childbirth each year (2). Although at that time it was described as being safer to have a home birth with the attendance of a skilled midwife than to give birth in a hospital under the care of a doctor (2), the high level of maternal mortality associated with childbirth had become a national scandal and through the following century, in the attempt to improve the wellbeing of mothers and babies, institutionalisation and medicalization of childbirth became the norm.
