'Only for the white'. A qualitative exploration of the lived experiences of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic midwifery students.

Background: An ethnically diverse workforce has been identified as a key component of safe, compassionate maternity care, and yet midwifery remains a predominantly White profession across the Global North. Understanding the experiences of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic midwifery students is key to addressing this disparity.

Objective: To capture the university and placement experiences of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic midwifery students in a culturally White environment.

Choosing Midwifery - The perceptions and experiences of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic applicants to midwifery programmes: A mixed methods study.

Aim: to explore recruitment to UK midwifery programmes from the perspective of applicants from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups and describe the perceptions and experiences of the application process for these applicants and those from white backgrounds.

Background: Midwifery in the Global North is an overwhelmingly white profession. This lack of diversity has been cited as a factor in the poorer outcomes experienced by women from non-white backgrounds.
