Lecturer practitioners are experienced midwives and bring practice-based skills to enrich midwifery education courses. They contribute to clinical skills development and help integrate the student’s theoretical knowledge with professional practice.

Lecturer practitioners are normally based in the NHS Trust (or Health Board) but work both in the university and in the placement Trust. The time allocated to each organisation varies, for example it could be 50:50.
