GABRIEL RAOUST serves as a Senior Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Ystad Hospital, and has a keen professional interest in the unpredictable and collaborative nature of delivery care. A dilettante in essence, his affinity for the visual arts and postmodern philosophy subtly informs and shapes his research.

His thesis delves into the intricate influence of obstetricians’, gynecologists’, and midwives’ personal and professional identities on decision-making in obstetric emergencies. It highlights the complex and sometimes conflicting aspects of such situations, setting the stage for rethinking collaborative practices. Given the significant issues identified, the thesis suggests a need for targeted interventions in maternity care, aimed at unifying the goals and values of obstetricians and midwives.
