3. Why a Partnership Model?

4. Beyond the Pilot What next?
SoMs at 3x Trusts offered opportunity to become PMAs
Beyond the Pilot What next?
Annual PMA meeting
Within Trust
All midwives take responsibility for scheduling their own
Employer requested PMA meeting
When incident occurs or concerns arise (Always if referral to NMC)
PMA meeting with a PMA from a Partner Trust
Midwife requested PMA
When a midwife feels they require a meeting
Either Within Trust or with Partner Trust
All 3 Trust’s can refer to Coventry University for Educational support

5. 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”

6. Working out the finer details……..
SoM meeting
How do we implement?
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……..
