Midwives offer specialist support to mothers from the antenatal to the postnatal period, and work with a range of healthcare professionals to promote the best interests of a mother and her baby. Underpinned by national policy, our midwifery degree focuses on women-centred holistic care, combining theory with practical placements. Successful graduates will be eligible to register as a midwife with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). Students will have the unique opportunity to be Newborn and Infant Physical (NIPE ) examination-ready at the point of qualifying. Newly qualified Midwives at the point of qualifying should meet with and discuss this qualification with the Practice Development Midwives/Education team to determine how their employer will support them in their transition from student to practicing as a NIPE midwife.
