There are many reasons why midwives step out of the midwifery profession for a period of time this may include time to travel, family commitments, or an opportunity in another career.
At Capital, Coast and Hutt Valley we are committed to supporting midwives wanting to return to clinical practice.
Fitness to practice will be decided by the Midwifery Council of New Zealand and educational requirements will differ depending on the number of years that you have been out of clinical practice.
Once an individualised plan is made by the Midwifery Council, we can support your return to the midwifery workforce.
Our Midwife Educators and Midwife Clinical Coaches are experienced in supporting midwives who require formalised assessments and to regain their clinical confidence.
