Supporting Midwives’ Transition into Sustainable Practice

Across Europe, many midwives leave the profession within their first years of practice. Rapidly evolving roles, stress, poor onboarding, and limited support can make this transition challenging and valuable talent is often lost when it is needed most.

METIS is an Erasmus+ project that tackles this challenge by empowering and supporting midwives as they step into their professional careers. By co-developing tools with universities of Applied Sciences, employers, subject matter experts, and professional associations, METIS provides evidence-based tools that strengthen midwifery and enable sustainable career pathways. From digital preparation for entering a changing workforce to onboarding models, mentorship, and wellbeing monitoring, METIS offers evidence-based solutions that strengthen midwifery and ensure sustainable career pathways.
