Another point raised was the attrition rate in midwifery nursing schools, which is 25%. That means that in the third and fourth years of nursing training, we are losing 25% of potential graduates. Not only are we failing to recruit and retain but we are failing to educate those who have entered but found the working conditions far too onerous. How could this be approached?
