Abstract

Despite continuity of carer being signalled in policy in 1993 ( Department of Health, 1993 ), it remains a largely elusive aspiration in the UK. This has implications for midwives with regards to how well they can apply the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Code ( NMC, 2015 ) and their navigation of some of its inherent tensions. From the perspective of a new student midwife, this article discusses the advantages of caseloading in applying the Code and suggests ways in which student midwives might draw from the caseload model, bringing some of its strengths into mainstream practice.
