211 Appendices During the course of this thesis, I continued to do my work as a guideline developer for the Dutch Association of Midwives. This ensured the application of knowledge from guidelines to research and vice versa. During this period I have also facilitated peer review meetings for practising midwives on midwifery topics. In these sessions, midwives discuss differences in care and whether they want to make adjustments in their care. The results of this thesis will also be shared with others in several ways. We have published the results of our studies in peer-reviewed, open access scientific journals, reaching a broad range of maternity care professionals and researchers. Additionally, we have and will present our results at various national and international conferences.
