Evolution of the Journal in the last decade

In late 2014, I was invited to join the Editorial Board of the New Zealand College of Midwives Journal. I was honoured to accept this role, recognising the Journal as a cornerstone for advancing midwifery research and practice in Aotearoa New Zealand. During my tenure as sub-editor, the Journal has adapted to the evolving demands of academic, political and healthcare landscapes, while maintaining its commitment to being a high-quality publication. This editorial serves as an opportunity for me to reflect on the Journal's progress during the decade of my involvement, highlighting its successes, challenges and future directions.
