Our report calls for:

• Maintenance loans for student midwives that would be forgiven after three years of service in the NHS, specific to the country in which they studied.
• Financial support that increases by inflation.
• Benefit entitlements should be preserved, so that the vocational burden is not borne by the whole family.
• The cost of student placements, which can involve high travel costs, is reimbursed promptly.
• Abolition of tuition fees for student midwives in England, bringing it in line with the other nations.
