Feedback from learners
“I have found the Continuity of Carer model to be invaluable to my training. Seeing the benefits of continuity inspires me to build relationships with our women and makes this job so rewarding”
Challenges
The most pivotal challenge faced has been the number of significant changes taking place over the past 12months, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on service delivery, the implementation of the ‘ Continuity of Carer ’ model, the implementation of the new Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) ‘Standards for Education and Training’ and NMC changing models of supervision.
Key learning
By increasing the accessibility of the Practice-Based Educator we have been able to support staff to adop tnew models of supervision and a new curriculam requirement for the NMC ‘Standards for Education and Training’.
The Midwifery Practice Educator role has supported effective communication of the changes between universities, Practice Educator Facilitators and clinical teams.
Providing Midwifery learner forums has created an opportunity for learners to share experiences and reflect on practice, builds professional resilience and promotes autonomous practice.
When increasing idwifery placement capacity consideration needs to be given to the impacts on other learning environments/short visits as part of the planning process e.g. gynaecology and neonatal unit.
