Mentoring - A Personal Analysis

Abstract:

This paper presents a discussion of mentoring within Auckland midwifery practice. It emerged from my involvement in the debates within the New Zealand College of Midwives (NZCOM) about the need for new graduates to be mentored, and the requirements of Access Agreements from the different maternity hospitals. The exploration brought me to the literature regarding questions that were raised by the debate. It further involved a series of short interviews with 2 new graduate midwives, 4 potential mentors, 4 student midwives, and 3 women who had been cared for by a mentored midwife.
