Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the acceptability of the new contraceptive champion role to the first hospital and community midwives in NHS Lothian trained in this role. DESIGN: Health service evaluation. POPULATION: Hospital and community midwives trained as contraceptive champions, NHS Lothian, Scotland, UK. METHODS: Qualitative research: 1:1 semi-structured interviews (baseline and follow-up) with five contraceptive champions. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Qualitative data on views of the new contraceptive champions on the first 6 months of the role. RESULTS: All contraceptive champions stated increased confidence in their knowledge of postnatal contraception. They reported that women had not questioned the role of midwives in inserting contraceptive implants postnatally in hospital and at home. Midwife colleagues and hospital doctors had been supportive. CONCLUSION: The new role of contraceptive champion is reported by midwives to have been well received in its first year by women, the midwives themselves and their healthcare colleagues. © Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2019.
