Midwifery First Year of Practice (MFYP) Programme


The MFYP programme is for first year midwives and provides a mix of mentoring and education to support graduate midwives in their first year in the workplace.

Evaluation report


The MFYP programme was evaluated in its pilot years (2007 and 2008) and the Executive Summary of the Evaluation Report can be found in Word and PDF below:


Consultation on the Interim Specification


The Clinical Training Agency (CTA) reviewed the pilot training specifications for the Midwifery First Year of Practice training programme at the end of 2008 and the pilot specifications were superseded by one interim specification. The development of the interim specification took into account the evaluation findings of the pilot year and the views of the midwifery Expert Advisory Group.

The CTA now invite those who have an interest in midwifery first year of practice training to provide us with your views on the interim specification. Once all responses have been collated and reviewed by the CTA and the Expert Advisory Group, a final specification will be approved and posted on the Ministry website.Submissions close on 15 May 2009.
