Dr Jacqui Williams and Verena Wallace, senior midwifery advisers at the NMC, discuss the language of the new Future Midwife standards.
The new future midwife standards are not so new, they have been out for a few years, but with the pandemic they may sound new to many.
Follow this presentation to understand what they mean for all midwives, not just student midwives. Ask yourself how you have matched up to these standards and principles as you have worked through the challenges of the pandemic.
Hear how these standards and the principles running through the work are designed to help midwives adapt to the diverse, complex and changing world of midwifery.
