Comment on: Regulators set up European midwives network
I think this is vital as it is very demoralising for both the employer and the employee trying to recruit miodwives from the EU. The training is NOT comparable in most cases and very few should be givein NMC PIN's. Midwives are rarely acountable practitioners in their own countries. This causes confusion and great disappoinment during the recruitment process as the EU midiwves can not understand why they are not recruited when they have been senior midwives in their own country. My Trust has taken on 6 midwives and we have had to provide extensive extra training based on the NMC Skills clusters to become effective members of the team. It is hard to expect a Trust to pay the EU Midwife the same as a UK trained midwife who works autonomously. I would lke to be part of the Think Tank.
