Abstract

midwives

re-registration requirements

Recency of Practice (RoP) Standard

Objective. The aim of the present study was to investigate how midwives are responding to the changed re-registration requirements; specifically the Recency of Practice (RoP) Standard. Methods. A qualitative longitudinal case study used conversational interviews conducted annually at two time phases after the introduction of national registration. Results. Findings reveal that confusion has created challenges in demonstration of the RoP standard. This confusion was evident at individual and organisational levels. Conclusions. Professional bodies need to support staff in this transition by providing clearer guidance that exemplifies the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia expectations.
