Course description

This course will introduce students to the theory and practice of midwifery. Students will explore midwifery as a woman-centred profession and develop a sense of identity. An overview of the antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum periods, including normal newborn care will be explained to enable students to begin to develop the knowledge required to commence safe contemporary woman centred midwifery practice. A broad overview of each of the periods related to pregnancy, labour, birth and postnatal care will be discussed with consideration of the qualities and skills required for a beginning level of midwifery practice.
