Midwives in Academia: Does Restorative Clinical Supervision Matter?

There is a significant gap in the Professional Midwifery Advocate (PMA) support available for clinical versus non-clinical midwifery staff. Providing a safe, open and positive culture in the workplace is of paramount importance in relation to staff wellbeing. This article discusses the development and implementation of a quality improvement (QI) project with the aim of evaluating Restorative Clinical Supervision (RCS) sessions lead by PMAs for academic midwifery staff and its impact on staff wellbeing. Assessment of uptake and receptivity will be monitored through questionnaires annually and staff attendance will be recorded.
