This month we feature sneak previews of two interesting articles that can be found in Essentially MIDIRS and MIDIRS Midwifery Digest.

MIDIRS Reference Database is highlighted in Paul Robert's special feature article. As part of MIDIRS Information team, Paul has first hand experience of working with the Database and offers a succinct overview of its origins, the workings of the team and hints at new developments for the future.

We hope you enjoy this issue of Essence. Until next month - from the team.
