Explore the fundamentals of midwifery and develop your understanding of the whole maternity journey for mothers and infants. Gain clinical skills to support childbearing women, newborn infants and families through pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and the early weeks of life. You will study the importance of communication in care provision and in building professional relationships.

Your training will ensure you can anticipate, prevent, and respond with confidence to the additional needs and complications that can arise during pregnancy. Your practice will be underpinned by evidence to ensure that you are delivering high-quality and safe care to women and infants at every stage of their journey.

As a midwife you will respect women's individual circumstances and advocate their wishes where appropriate. You will support mothers to confidently use their voice throughout their pregnancy, delivery and beyond, but also enable them to provide nurturing care to their infant.

Multidisciplinary learning
Your studies will combine theory and clinical practice and you will be taught by highly qualified, registered midwives. We have a multidisciplinary approach to teaching so you will work alongside students from medicine, physiotherapy, nursing, pharmacy, and social work enabling you to benefit from inter-professional education required within the clinical setting.

You will improve your midwifery techniques, so you are ready for practical placements using simulation with mannequins and patient simulators in our Clinical Skills Lab.
