Content

Midwives provide skilled, knowledgeable and compassionate care to women, newborn infants and their families. They work across the continuum of pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, labour, birth, postpartum and the early weeks of a newborn infant’s life. To meet these needs our programme reflects a dynamic, student-centred approach to learning, teaching and assessment.

It aims to prepare you for practice as an accountable and autonomous midwife with a focus on:

• mastery of the knowledge and skills required to provide safe and effective midwifery care to women and their families
• the interpersonal and cultural competence required for effective and collaborative working
• developing self-capability in a midwifery leadership context, particularly in relation to quality, safety and efficacy
• demonstrating commitment to ongoing research, audit and service evaluation to enhance professional learning, policy and practice

Please note:
We will have a newly NMC accredited Midwifery Programme from January 2022.
