    Midwives value continuing professional education (CPE) but attendance lags. Managers and staff midwives attend least, potentially hindering their development and well-being.

    Area of Science:

    • Continuing Professional Education (CPE)
    • Midwifery Practice
    • Healthcare Professional Development

    Background:

    • Initial enthusiasm for in-service training among midwives did not translate into consistent attendance.
    • Understanding the barriers and motivators for participation in continuing professional education is crucial for healthcare professionals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the reasons behind the discrepancy between perceived value and actual attendance in continuing professional education (CPE) for midwives.
    • To assess midwives' perceptions, motivations, and participation levels in CPE.

    Main Methods:

    • A mixed-methods approach combining interviews and questionnaire surveys.
    • Involved 61 midwives within a London health authority.

    Main Results:

    • Midwives generally recognized the importance of CPE, engaged in professional reading, and participated in diverse educational activities.
    • Managers and staff midwives demonstrated the lowest attendance rates at study days and training sessions.
    • Low attendance may negatively impact professional development and contribute to stress and burnout.

    Conclusions:

    • CPE is vital for enhancing clinical standards and boosting morale among midwives.
    • Addressing attendance barriers for managers and staff is essential for their career progression and well-being.
    • Effective CPE can mitigate stress and prevent burnout in the midwifery profession.
