Abstract

‘Make your student do that, that's what she's there for!’. These words have stayed with me ever since my first labour ward placement. As a first year student midwife, I remember being told I could not go for a break on a quiet night shift because the healthcare assistant had just gone, and I was to clean the room that had just been vacated by a woman who had gone to the postnatal ward. I remember cleaning the room, thinking: ‘This isn't what I came into this to do.’ I wanted to have a break and discuss with my mentor what we had just been doing.
