ConclusionA conclusion can be drawn out at the end of both chapters. It can be said that midwives are at a difficult position when delivering care to the non-English speaking Pakistani women due to the language and cultural diversity. The lack of research surrounding this topic makes it difficult for health professionals to meet their needs. In effect, the researcher proposed a research study which will attempt to home in on the views and opinions of these women to elicit the required data so that health professionals could give the best possible pre-natal care to these women and fill the gap in theory. On completion of the study the findings will be made available to the local maternity units and also areas where delivering parent education to the non-English speaking population has been a problem, Bradford and Dewsbury are two known places. Sharing the findings of this study would not mean that it represents the whole of the population but will provide a foundation to build upon. It is recommended that areas, which face similar problems, need to replicate this study, so that the needs of the non-English speaking women are known to health professionals. Parent education needs to become a valuable service to these women but if their feelings, views and opinions are not known then health professionals can not deliver the service effectively.
