Hi Stella
We introduced this at TVU a couple of years ago. We haven't yet
evaluated it formally, but the feelings of students and academic staff
so far seem very positive.

Hi
My name is Stella Rawnson and I am a midwife teacher based at
Bournemouth University.
As you may be aware, following an initial caseloading pilot scheme,
which developed out of the work of two, enthusiastic and forward
thinking student midwives, Bournemouth University conducted a small
scale evaluation of the experiences of students and women as well as
those midwives who provided the support in clinical practice. This work
was carried out by Tricia Anderson and the scheme was very positively
evaluated.
This work has attracted widespread interest and several other HEI
midwifery departments have visited us to explore our experience and
provision of student caseloading. A number of public presentation have
also been given by Professor Paul Lewis, Tricia Anderson and myself,
which has helped to raise the profile of what we consider to be an
innovative approach to learning. The web page of the six point midwifery
plan cites this as an example of 'good practice'.
As a result of this work, we have incorporated student midwife
caseloading as a core component for all our students within the
pre-registration midwifery curriculum at Bournemouth University. We
are now in the process of formally evaluating this initiative with the
aim of developing it further and we will be publishing our results.
I would therefore be very interested in hearing from anyone who has
experienced caseloading as a student or who works in an institution
where caseloading forms part of the curriculum so that this may also
contribute to our knowledge and insights into such practice.
