Empowering nurses and midwives: the evidence-base for the Nurses and Midwives Certification Programme of ESHRE†.

Study Question: How were the logbook and curriculum for the Nurses and Midwives Certification Programme of ESHRE developed?

Summary Answer: The logbook and corresponding curriculum for the ESHRE Nurses and Midwives Certification Programme were based on an extensive literature review, an international expert panel, and a survey of Belgian and Dutch nurses and midwives (N&M) working in reproductive medicine (RM).

What Is Known Already: ESHRE has been running a certification programme for N&M working in RM since 2015. To the best of our knowledge, clinical practice guidelines for nursing/midwifery care within RM are lacking as is consensus on role descriptors of N&M working in RM.
