Résumé : |
December 2015, student midwives and nurses, joined by students from other professions including medical trainees, demonstrated outside the Department of Health in London. Many dressed in scrubs and holding homemade placards and banners, they were protesting against something of potentially huge significance; a radical change to English policy on supporting student health professionals.
A week earlier the Chancellor of the Exchequer set out the future of funding for student midwives, nurses and allied health professionals in his autumn spending review: Grants for health students will also be replaced by loans, and the cap on the number of nurses and midwives that can go into training each year will be removed, providing up to 10,000 more nurses and other health care professionals for the NHS. These students will be able to receive 25% more financial support during their studies as a result.(HM Treasury 2015) This blandly worded statement hides a momentous change not only in the way that health care education is funded, but in how the whole structure of education, workforce planning and the National Health Service (NHS) is conceived. It matters for student midwives and their educators, but it also matters for NHS Trusts and for the public. This paper will unravel the ideas and issues behind the change to student funding, and will argue that it heralds a revolution in health care education in England. The paper will focus on the midwifery experience in England, but the implications for the changes to midwifery education will be felt much more widely and reflect and sharpen debates at national and international level. |
