Regulation during a pandemic

Introduction:
The Covid-19 pandemic presented a unique challenge as a regulator of midwives. We wanted to play our part to ease the demands on the system and on individual midwives on our register.

Material and Methods:
Following a request from the UK government’s Secretary of State for Health and Social Care we undertook a number of temporary emergency regulatory steps during the pandemic to set how education providers should organise midwifery programmes.

Results:
A temporary change to standards which were finally withdrawn in September 2022.

Conclusions:
The pandemic demonstrated our agility in our approach to standard setting and the supportive part we played during a national emergency.
