Reflections on the pilot experience: “RCS has empowered me to be an advocate for midwives rather than a problem solver.” “It feels as if we are actually caring for the carers and offering them 'time for me‘” Reflections on the pilot experience: “giving midwives the opportunity to sit, breathe and think…… can help them feel valued, listened too , important “ “the recent study sessions have restored my faith, excitement and passion for the role”

Midwives should take responsibility for ensuring they have a PMA meeting PMA’s should not be line manager Information required ahead of meeting Partnership model to be maintained Records and meeting outcomes Working out the finer details……..
