Which would be great if it actually worked (im speaking for NQ midwives here as I dont know how its working with the NQ nurses). In reality only a few people ever actually get jobs through this scheme as the trusts arent obliged to find vacant posts where there arent any already. So, if there arent any vacancies already (which in almost all scottish units is pretty much the norm) they wont invent one so that newly qualified MW's can take advantage of this scheme.
The few who do get posts are often expected to work within several units, sometimes a few months at a time or often totally randomly which means no preceptorship, no chance to build confidence as all units work to different policies and procedures and no prospects at the end as your never really a team member anywhere so no one has any compulsion to actually fit you into a post when your year is up.

Basically it looks good on paper but in reality its just that, a pretty paper exercise with no real substance.
