Too Little Attention Being Given To Retain Midwives And Nurses - Report

Too little attention has been given to retaining midwives and nurses in the National Health Service (NHS), a new report has revealed.

The Health Committee publication goes on to say that the result of this has been 'more leaving than joining the profession'.

The Committee has now recommended that assurances be given to midwives and nurses from other EU countries that they will be able to remain in the UK working in the NHS post-Brexit.

It has also advised that the Government needs to closely observe the impact of the removal of the midwifery bursaries, particularly in relation to mature students.

Jon Skewes, RCM director of employment relations, policy and communications, said: "The recommendations and advice set out by the Health Committee in this report come as no surprise to the Royal College of Midwives (RCM).

"The advice they have given to Government in this report is inline with what the RCM has been long asking and warning of on vital workforce issues.

"The NHS in England remains 3500 midwives short of the number of midwives it needs to deliver a safe and high-quality maternity service."
