Midwifery
- The Midwifery Preceptorship Framework for Scotland has been updated for 2024. This version builds upon an evaluation of the original 2023 framework, available to read here, which indicated only minor amendments. This framework provides guidance on how midwifery preceptorship should be planned, delivered and evaluated within an enabling environment. It is designed for newly qualified midwives, those new to the NMC register as a midwife, preceptors and service leads. It responds to recommendation 19 of the Midwifery Workforce and Education Review (2021).
