**What you will study**
On this course, you’ll gain experience of caring for individual women throughout antenatal, labour and postnatal periods.
In your first year, you’ll study topics that are fundamental to midwifery, including concepts of caring, physical health sciences, and the politics, philosophy and practice of midwifery, ensuring you have a solid foundation upon which to build the rest of your degree.
During your second year, you’ll gain an appreciation for complex midwifery care and how to effectively deal with emergencies such as breech births and hypertensive disorders.
In your third year, you’ll study the broader context of midwifery, investigating cultural, social, racial and psychological perspectives of pregnancy, and maternal autonomy. You’ll learn about sexual and reproductive health, including how to effectively interpret gynaecological histories, IVF, and breast, cervical and ovarian screening. You’ll also develop the skills to care for obstetric patients experiencing critical ill health and understand the importance of early detection, to reduce maternal mortality and morbidity.
Throughout your studies, you’ll develop a responsive attitude to the needs of childbearing women and their families, reflected in your capacity to assess their needs, make judgements, and plan, implement and evaluate care.
