Clinical supervision led by professional midwife advocates

The Advocating for Education and QUality ImProvement model and professional midwife advocate role were introduced by an abortion care provider.

An abortion care and contraception provider implemented both the role of the professional nurse/midwife advocate and the Advocating for Education and QUality ImProvement model. The aim was to create a culture of reflection and support for staff members. As a result of the implementation, nurses and midwives have reported an increase in job satisfaction and in feeling supported.
