Abstract
Postgraduate student midwives are a unique cohort of students with many factors influencing their clinical placement experience. As registered general nurses, they return to being a student to undertake a Higher Diploma in Midwifery programme. A qualitative study was undertaken to identify supports and challenges encountered by postgraduate student midwives during their clinical placement in an Irish maternity hospital. By creating an awareness of the factors which influence postgraduate student midwives clinical experience, an environment can be promoted where students feel valued, supported and work with midwives who are understanding of the students’ needs and keen to share their knowledge.
