Abstract

Becoming a midwife is the 16th series of ‘Midwifery basics’ targeted at practising midwives and midwifery students. The aim of these articles is to provide information to raise awareness of the impact of professionalism on women’s experience, consider the implications for a midwives’ practice and encourage midwives to seek further information through a series of activities relating to the topic.
In the first of this new series, Jancis Shepherd offers a definition of professionalism, and considers the qualities and attributes required of a professional in this role.
