    Abstract

    This is a time of change: frameworks for maternity care are being refreshed in Scotland and across the UK and UWS is refreshing its midwifery curriculum.
    In this project, student voices have emphasised tacit learning and peer pressure to conform to established norms, as strong influencers in the acquisition of professional values and identity. They also call for closer communication between university and practice teachers in midwifery education.
