Midwives play a pivotal role in supporting the health and wellbeing of women and their families during all stages of pregnancy, childbirth and the early postnatal period. Midwives often describe their role in preparing women for the delivery of new life as 'privileged'. Becoming a midwife means undertaking professional education at a degree level such as this course. Some midwives are qualified nurses who have chosen to change career direction and undertake the extra study necessary to be registered as a midwife. Others begin their career by working their way up via support roles, such as starting as a maternity support worker, before going on to study for a midwifery degree later. This course is designed to enable you to become a caring, compassionate midwife able to deliver high-quality care and make a substantial contribution to the health of women and their families. From the outset, youll have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience under the supervision of an experienced midwife, who will also support you to manage a small caseload during the course. You will be encouraged to develop the clinical and care skills to become a professionally competent midwife who can soundly analyse a womans needs, plan an appropriate programme of care and then implement it safely, effectively and sensitively.
Minimum 5 GCSEs graded 9-4 / A*- C including English and Science. Within the minimum of 5 GCSEs, you will also need Mathematics at a minimum grade 5. You must have results certificates at the point of interview.
