An important part of a midwife’s role is an understanding of medicines management, particularly what a midwife can and cannot supply and administer. Despite the legislation, there has been confusion around midwives’ responsibilities in relation to the supply and administration of medicines, in particular around Midwives Exemptions, Patient Group Directions (PGD) and relevant statutory legislation.

Through a partnership arrangement an inter-active tool with a built in e-learning resource was adapted and revised to assist midwives understand their role and responsibilities.

As part of the implementation of this resource, awareness sessions were conducted through the NI Clinical Education Centre.

The Project Team that developed this resource wishes to evaluate its effectiveness in terms of ease of access; suitability and usefulness to midwives in their understanding. We therefore would like you to partake in a short questionnaire which will help in the revision of this tool.

The questionnaire is accessed via this service monkey link and should take no more than 10 mins to complete.
