New recommendations suggesting that maternity care should be increasingly community-based have generated concern regarding the interprofessional cooperation between general practitioners and midwives. In Camden, London, this service was expanded in 1993. Although existing joint antenatal care arrangements between GPs and midwives were not expected to alter significantly, the shift of care from hospital to community midwives, and the expansion of community-led care to women with complications, was expected to have implications for the GPs. A questionnaire-based study asked GPs who provide antenatal care about their role and liaison with other professionals. Most were satisfied with the current arrangements; only a minority felt that their workload, clinical practice, or communication with obstetric teams had altered.
