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.
