The Dutch system of maternity care is occasionally held up as an example to be emulated by health care providers in the United Kingdom. There are, however, certain differences between maternity care in the two countries which prevent the direct transfer of a system of maternity care from the Netherlands to the UK. The countries are different in terms of their geography and social class distribution. The organizational frameworks within which maternity care is provided demonstrate important differences. The midwives are from a different background, undergo a different preparation and face crucially different working arrangements. There are also certain, largely cultural, differences between mothers in the two countries. Despite these discrepancies, much may be learned by those involved in maternity care in the UK from their Dutch counterparts and the Dutch system of care.
荷兰的孕产妇护理体系有时被视作英国医疗服务提供者效仿的典范。然而，两国的孕产妇护理存在一些差异，这使得荷兰的孕产妇护理体系无法直接移植到英国。两国在地理和社会阶层分布方面有所不同。提供孕产妇护理的组织框架也存在显著差异。两国助产士的背景不同，接受的培训不同，工作安排也截然不同。两国的母亲之间还存在一些主要源于文化的差异。尽管存在这些差异，英国参与孕产妇护理的人员仍能从荷兰同行及荷兰的护理体系中学到很多东西。
