Split between theoretical study and placement-based practice, our three-year Midwifery degree will equip you with all the skills, knowledge and leadership qualities you need to excel as a midwife. You’ll be ready to help mothers navigate their pregnancies as their lead practitioner in all normal midwifery care, and also able to manage and coordinate more complex care to those in difficult circumstances. A midwife needs be able to take everything in, then make the right judgement. Throughout the course you’ll study and get to grips with the latest research underpinning current midwifery practices, and you’ll discover how to identify and seek out any crucial information that isn’t readily available. You’ll be able to develop your critical analysis and the way you evaluate evidence, then you’ll consolidate your learning by putting it into practice on your placements.
Clinical placements are spread throughout the course and cover every aspect of midwifery practice. They take place across multiple NHS Trust partners, so you’ll gain as diverse an experience as possible. You’ll get to work with professionals from multiple professional disciplines, giving you unique insights into the practices and perspectives of healthcare providers across the board. Throughout the course you will also develop in-depth knowledge and clinical skills related to examination of the newborn and, on successful completion of all course components, you’ll gain the Neonatal and Infant Physical Examiner qualification. And you’ll learn how to support new mothers emotionally and physically as they breastfeed and bond with their babies. |
