All change! Supervision in action.

Making it Better' (MiB) is a programme of reorganisation of future women and children's services in Greater Manchester (Children and Young People's Network (CYPN) 2011). The challenge for midwifery supervision is to maintain the safety and quality of services whilst managing the emotional needs of those involved. A consultation with midwives revealed they wanted an opportunity away from the clinical area to create a positive way forward. A study day was developed entitled 'Midwives building a future within reconfiguration'. Midwives shared their experiences and plans for the future, strengthening their resolve to continue being the advocates for women and the profession.
