Clinical involvement of midwife teachers.
Changes in management and educational structures have severely curtailed opportunities for midwifery teachers to engage in clinical practice outside their commitment to teaching students in clinical areas. The author outlines the past and current positions in this regard, and explains how a team of teachers from her department devised a system which ensures that 20 per cent of their time (or 45 days a year) can be spent in clinical practice.
