Regional Record for the Supervision of Midwifery Practice
Northern Ireland (NI)'s Public Health Agency (PHA), in its role as the Local
Supervising Authority (LSA), has responsibility for ensuring that statutory
supervision of all midwives is exercised to a satisfactory standard within its
geographical boundary.
In 2009, Northern Ireland Practice
and Education Council for Nursing and Midwifery (NIPEC) was approached by the
LSAMO to facilitate the development of a regional document for the review of the
supervision of midwifery practice. To take this work forward, a
Steering
Group was
set up, composed of nominated supervisors of midwives (SoM) - this group was
complemented by a number of focus groups, whose membership came from a broad
spectrum of
midwives from within Northern Ireland.
