Area of Science:

Healthcare Education
Midwifery Practice
Professional Development

Background:

Post-registration education for midwives is crucial for enhancing skills and service provision.
Bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in healthcare settings is an ongoing challenge.
Work-based learning offers a potential solution to integrate education directly into clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the impact of a Work-Based Learning Module on midwives' professional development.
To assess the module's effect on the development of local maternity and neonatal care.
To explore the benefits of inter-professional learning and collaboration within maternity services.

Main Methods:

A mixed-methods case study approach was employed.
Quantitative data collected via questionnaires from midwives, clinical supervisors, and managers.
Qualitative data gathered through focus groups with health professionals, analyzed using content analysis and CAQDAS.

Main Results:

The module fostered significant personal and professional growth in midwives.
Improved multi-professional collaboration and enhanced local maternity services were observed.
Work-based projects strengthened midwives' clinical credibility and supported inter-professional learning.

Conclusions:

Work-Based Learning effectively bridges the theory-practice gap in post-registration midwifery education.
This learning model is cost-effective and strengthens the link between higher education and clinical practice.
The principles of work-based learning can be applied globally to advance midwifery education and improve maternal and neonatal care worldwide.
