To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to incorporate mental health training into midwifery education.
Karin Smyth
Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
There are no such plans. Undergraduate midwifery education and training already incorporates aspects of mental health training. It is the responsibility of the Approved Education Institutions and practice partners to develop the specific content and design of midwifery programmes to meet the standards set by the midwifery regulator, the Nursing and Midwifery Council.
