15.5 Keeping student midwives’ spark alive

Midwifery students bring a special spark, an energy and enthusiasm that fuels their journey and enriches the profession. The Positive Midwifery Project brings together students, practice supervisors, educators, and regulators to explore how best to keep that passion alive, especially through practice learning and into preceptorship. Juliet Rayment and Mira Waligora will introduce the project, share key insights from students and their supporters, and outline future plans.Hosted by:Sue Macdonald, Midwifery Expert; Host and Curator, Maternity and Midwifery Festivals/Midwifery Hour, Editor, Mayes MidwiferyContribution from:Mira Waligora, Student Midwife, the University of The West of ScotlandDr Juliet Rayment, Humanising Care Fellow, The Point of Care FoundationSupported by MATFLIX:⁠https://matflix.co.uk⁠Register to watch the next episode LIVE or attend a Maternity & Midwifery Festival:⁠https://mmf.eventbrite.com⁠Watch the live stream:⁠https://facebook.com/midwiferyforum/live
