Abstract
There has recently been great discussion regarding the role of the Supervisor of Midwives (SoM). Following on from the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman's (2013) concerns, the King's Fund report (2015) concluded that the role of the SoM was not to be coupled with regulation. On 28 January 2015 this was accepted by the Nursing and Midwifery Council and changes were instigated. Many student midwives will have never experienced the role of the SoM first-hand and some are beginning to worry about their vulnerability come point of qualification, without this extra layer of protection.
