The online content of the RCM Midwives Journal has now migrated to the Ingenta service (www.ingenta.com) and is no longer available at www.midwives.co.uk. Issues from 5(10) 2002 can be browsed there. Access to full text is free of charge, though there is a six-month embargo on recent content, i.e. the most recent months are not available. Eventually all issues going back to 1998 will be put online.
