Nursing and midwifery are old and well-established professions. While some of their history has intersected at different points, they are distinct professions underpinned by different philosophies. They have also developed in different ways as a result of complex political and social influences. Furthermore, midwifery in particular has developed in a variety of models globally and hence its education varies internationally. This chapter provides an overview of the historical development of professional education for nurses and midwives.
