Abstract

It is recommended that students experience caseloading and continuity models of care as part of their clinical learning (Health Education England, 2013; Nursing and Midwifery Council, 2009). Student midwives from the University of Salford have the option of a placement at the Jane Crookall Maternity Unit in the Isle of Man. This article discusses student midwives' evaluation of an innovative clinical placement on the Isle of Man that facilitates this model of care. This evaluation considers the perspectives of student midwives, service users and midwives following the commencement of this placement link in an island setting that provides continuity of care.
