Course programme

Course Content Year One

During Year One, you will be introduced to the academic knowledge and practice of midwifery. This will provide a foundation on which the practice of midwifery will be developed. The emphasis will be on normal midwifery, as childbirth is a normal physiological life event for the majority of healthy women. As a novice to midwifery you will be exposed to and socialised into the theory and practice of normal midwifery and related key skills by the provision of relevant knowledge and clinical experience.

You will study the following modules:

  • Professional Practice in a Midwifery Context (fifteen weeks)
  • Midwifery and Health in Society (fifteen weeks)
  • Promoting Normality in Midwifery Practice (fifteen weeks)
Year Two

In Year Two, the knowledge and experience you have gained in Year One will be developed. The emphasis will be on identification and internalisation and you will adapt and develop existing knowledge, skills and attitudes to provide safe, effective care for women during normal and complicated pregnancy and childbirth. Midwifery clinical placements will reflect this and you will have additional short placements in an Accident and Emergency department, a gynaecological ward and a neonatal unit.

You will study the following modules:

  • Evolving Midwifery Practice for Pregnancy and Birth (fifteen weeks)
  • Developing Integrated Midwifery Practice for Pregnancy and Birth (fifteen weeks)
  • Developing Midwifery Practice for Holistic Care of Women and Babies (fifteen weeks)
Year Three

During this year, you will develop and draw together the knowledge and experience gained in Years One and Two. The emphasis will progress to internalisation and dissemination levels. Existing knowledge, skills and attitudes will be adapted and developed to enable the provision of safe, effective care for women and babies throughout pregnancy, labour and the puerperium. Clinical placements will reflect this and there will be a period of supervised practice when you will be expected to manage a midwifery caseload.
