“Midwives” accommodate the scarcity of jobs in the British Health Authority

The student, Amy Beach, fears that she will not be able to obtain a job after completing 2300 unpaid training hours at the National Health Services Authority in England, and calls for ensuring jobs for startups who may be forced to leave the profession before starting their career.

Beach (43 years) is scheduled to complete her training next summer, but she says that the promise made to obtain a job at the end of her three -year university studies, may “collapse”, despite the sharp shortage of midwives throughout the country.

She said: “It is a waste of talents, training and public money, and families throughout the country will feel its consequences.” She added: “There are many who want to work as intercourse after three years of hard training, but we have to face the fact that after all this, there may be only a few of the available jobs.”

Last month, a survey conducted by the Royal College of Midwives found that 8 out of 10 students met, were to be qualified this year, were not sure to find a job after graduation, despite the lack of cadres in the field of maternity care, and some services were forced to close due to the low levels of employment.

According to the Royal College of midwives, financing and freezing discounts impedes efforts to employ new cadres.

“A report after another indicates a lack of cadres as a factor in providing safe care, and the midwives are constantly informing us that their number is very few, so that they cannot provide the care on which they are trained.”

However, the tribal graduates face a state of uncertainty, with the lack of vacancies that do not allow them to start work after rehabilitation, and Jeep added: “The new midwives, who are now ready, find that the jobs are simply not present.”

Beach, from the city of “Bridge,” brought together the academic study and practical training, and the care of its three children since it obtained a “tribal” certificate.

The students of the “tribal” must complete 2300 hours of practical training, supervise 40 births, to become qualifications, and she hoped that this qualification will lead to an increase in family income and good job opportunities, in addition to continuing their commitment to improving the experience of women in pregnancy and childbirth.

“I went through a difficult experience, physically and psychologically, during these two years, but I set a goal in mind, no one chooses (the tribe) to get a comfortable job, you must have a passion for,” said Beach.

This passion helped Beach to withstand unpaid work periods for 12 hours, sometimes at night, and sometimes she slept in the back seat of her car during the training period more than 80 miles from her home, and she says: “After all this, we are now facing a scary possibility that we may not get jobs.”

Earlier this month, Push, a member of Parliament, Ashley Fox, wrote to highlight the problem, and wrote: “A modern national research revealed the Fifth Series Tribal jobs for only four vacancies throughout England, despite a national deficiency estimated at more than 2500 midwives.”

And she continued: “I have seen the consequences of a lack of staff and exhaustion in maternity services, however, thousands of professional qualifications cannot obtain jobs, there is no shortage of qualifications, but there is a lack of funded jobs only.”

Beach asked Fox to support the invitation to ensure jobs in the National Health Services Authority for newly qualified midwives, increase the financing of maternity services, and cancel the debts of students working in the field of health care who complete five years of continuous service in the National Health Services Authority, Fox responded, stressing that it will seek to find an opportunity to raise the issue in Parliament.

“The presence of a sufficient number of midwives in appropriate places with appropriate skills and training is essential for safety improvements that are intense in all maternity services,” said Viona Jeep.

She added, “We call on the four national governments in the United Kingdom to review their approach in planning the workforce in the field of (the tribe), and to stop the freezing of employment that prevents women and their families from receiving the care they need.” On the “Guardian”


Future workforce

“The nurses and midwives, such as Amy Beach, are the future workforce, and it is not acceptable to find jobs,” said a spokesman for the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare.

The National Health Services Authority in England has developed a dedicated work program with employers, teachers and trade unions to address this matter.
