Overview
Key facts
In 2012, the statutory supervision in midwifery was revoked and replaced by the voluntary, employer led role of the Professional Midwifery Advocate. Although this role is classed a voluntary, the role is specified in the NHS contract and is a key line of enquiry in Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections. Out of this necessity, the "A-EQUIP" model was conceptualised and brought to life. Central to the A-EQUIP model is the role of the Professional Midwifery Advocate (PMA). PMAs are expected to provide clinical supervision, professional development guidance, and leadership to midwives, ensuring mothers and babies receive care that is both safe and of the highest quality.
University of Derby's Professional Midwifery programme will teach you more about this topic.
