Abstract

Education programmes are tasked to prepare midwives for an ever-changing role and workload related to practice, skills and professional requirements at the point of registration and beyond. This article outlines the ‘transition project's’ 10-year journey to-date and considers the implementation of a ‘passport’ that aims to enhance the final year student midwife's transition to newly qualified status by working towards post-registration competencies as they progress through their first post induction and preceptorship year. Funding and availability of NHS Trust training balanced with the support needed for the newly qualified midwife may be a concern for any budget holder, but in terms of profession attrition, this type of innovation may be cost-effective in the longer term
