Abstract

Jo Killingley explores some of the factors that contribute to attrition in Midwifery.
The WHO has highlighted the global concern of the shortage of midwives (WHO, 2006). The UK is not exempt from this evaluation and the depletion of the workforce is causing great concern. In the hope of addressing this deficit, increased funding has been provided to higher education institutions to increase the intake of student midwives for pre-registration midwifery programmes, with the aim of building the workforce. A discussion piece on attrition in newly qualified midwives and the impact to the workforce.
