The Mentoring in Midwifery (MiM) Program aims to develop a reciprocal learning relationship that expands opportunities for connection, learning and growth for midwives and midwifery students.
The MiM Program has been developed by The Nursing and Midwifery Office (NaMO), NSW Ministry of Health, and is a collaboration with Professor Belinda Dewar and Dr Edel Roddy (Scotland), underpinned by Appreciative Inquiry, Caring Conversations and the Senses Framework. MiM is a workforce initiative developed to attract and retain our midwifery workforce now and into the future.
The program, and associated workshops and resources, have been developed in response to:
- outcomes of the
ESME (Exploring Student Midwives Experiences) Study
- evidence base (ICM guidelines and other related evidence)
- previous work by the Scottish team in developing positive learning cultures across health and social care
- learning from the Mentoring in Midwifery working group, including input from the NSW Midwifery Leaders and Managers
