Autonomous Practice

The first article in this series, published in the British Journal of Midwifery, volume 27, number 10, identified that newly qualified midwives continue to experience reality shock on initiation of first post, despite preceptorship programmes that aim to ease transition from student to qualified practitioner. Mentors are important in facilitating student decision-making, criticality and reflective practice, and share such roles as teaching, support and role modelling with preceptors. Although transition begins at the inception of midwifery training, there is a paucity of research exploring the role of mentors in preparing students for autonomous practice. The recent shift to replace mentors with practice supervisors and assessors provides an opportunity to consider strategies to better prepare student midwives for autonomous practice and mitigate against fairy tale midwifery.

Professional Pride

There is no question that becoming a prescriber is liberating and ensures autonomous practice as well as a sense of professional pride in managing complete episodes of patient care. The decision to become a prescriber can be voluntary or an expectation of developing roles and service delivery. Either way, it is an onerous undertaking. The purpose of this article is to explore the responsibility of becoming a prescriber from the perspective of three prescribers looking at the academic expectations as well as the experiences faced by new prescribers over the first 12 months of prescribing.

Autonomous Practice

This article applies Le Grand's distinction between knightly and knavish motivations to the behaviour of dentists in choosing whether to treat patients on the NHS or privately. Using national quantitative and discursive surveys, it shows that dentists' notions of their own interests centre on independent small-business entrepreneurship and their professional culture defines patient interest in terms of access to clinically autonomous practice based on a restorative paradigm. Government attempts to promote preventive dentistry in the context of the weakening in dentists' bargaining position as general dental health improves and the determination of the profession to protect high remuneration have led to conflict. Both knavish and knightly motives (understood from the perspective of dentists' professional culture) lead dentists to exit from the NHS. Any analysis of ‘robust’ policies, designed to accommodate both motivations, must take into account social factors such as professional cultures which influence how practitioners understand their own interests and those of their clients.
