Article Abstract:

Medical, nursing and midwifery students face many common problems, but they have so far failed to work together to deal with them. Nursing and midwifery students have won their fight for structural representation, and will soon see the publication of the 'Charter for Nursing and Midwifery Education.' Medical students should now respond by seeing their professional colleagues as allies.
