The UK Network of Professors in Midwifery and Maternal and Newborn Health has published a report summarising an independent review and mapping of the Standards of proficiency for midwives (NMC 20191/2024) and the relevant practice elements of Part 3 Standards for pre-registration midwifery programmes (NMC 2019/2023) against the recommendations arising from the most recent UK maternity and neonatal reviews.
The Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) commissioned the UK Network of Professors in Midwifery and Maternal and Newborn Health to undertake the review and mapping as part of their Midwifery Action Plan (NMC 2025) and in response to ongoing national reviews of maternity and neonatal services.
