Abstract
Development of the A-EQUIP model followed recommendations suggesting that statutory supervision of midwifery, for a variety of reasons, was not fit for purpose.1,2 A culture of blame and accountability, poor teamwork and ineffective leadership were identified as key elements of failings in the previous midwifery supervision model.1,2 These were accepted by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and statutory changes were made.3 The statutory changes meant that supervision and regulation of midwives should be divided with the NMC solely controlling all regulatory activity.1 This resulted in statutory midwifery supervision ceasing in April 2017 and changed to an employer-led model of support and supervision.4
