Articles On Midwife

As with all sectors of education, midwifery has been greatly affected by the lockdown measures imposed by governments throughout Europe. Despite the COVID-19 period, all students were expected to acquire professional midwifery competencies, according to the European Union (EU) Directive), the European Qualifications Framework (The Council of the European Union), as well as the International Confederation of Midwives’ (ICM) Global Standards for Midwifery Education (International Confederationx of Midwives, 2020). This Directive aims to ensure that midwifery education attains minimum standards and provides a European framework for midwifery education  and practice including a quantitative description of the tasks the midwife should carry out). One of the biggest challenges has been how to continue to provide the hours required under the EU Directive 2005/36/EC so that students may transition to midwives without penalty. However there are equally difficult but less obvious hurdles to overcome. This article provides a reflective account from three experienced midwives in different European countries, one working in education, one in clinical practice and one in research as to some of the major issues that are emerging in undergraduate midwifery education programmes.
