concerned direct entry midwife!!

[Guest guest]

Hi I am in my last 8 weeks of my SCPHN course and really looking forward to the

future as a health visitor. My concern is that as a direct entry midwife, I have

to keep up my midwifery registration by completing 450 hours of midwifery over 3

years. I did not consolidate my midwifery training and do not wish to do bank

work etc however the area I will be working in seems to have a high rate of

child protection and very little 'health visiting' (something I know is common

at the moment). Is anyone else a direct entry midwife already in a HV post?

could you tell me how you maintain your reg.? Thanks
