Joint Call to Action: Protecting Midwives to Sustain Care for Women, Newborns + their Families in the COVID-19 Pandemic
The International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) has listened to its Member Associations in all regions, and accounts from the midwives working on the frontlines during this pandemic are harrowing, unveiling an increase in gender discrimination, domestic violence, human rights abuses, the over-medicalization of birth and fear and misinformation, all culminating in growing distress among women and midwives.
ICM, in partnership with UNFPA, is uniting in solidarity with our global midwifery workforce to launch a series of calls to action for governments, decision-makers, donors, and health institutions to ensure the protection of midwives, women, and newborns during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Preceptorship Midwives
According to Nursing and Midwifery Council preceptorship is 'a period to guide and support all newly qualified practitioners to make the transition from student to develop their practice further'. The preceptorship is a transitional period and it should be a structured period for a newly qualified midwife when they start employment in the NHS.
Exprerienced Midwives
Experienced midwives are necessary within NHS. Usually they have completed their preceptorship year and have signed all their competencies in order to be autonomous professionals.
