Course description

This course will consolidate midwifery practice skills learned in year 1 of the program and increase the development of woman centred midwifery care skills. Care of the woman, family and fetus during labour and birth is the focus of this course. The midwife's role in obstetric emergencies will be considered and simulated experiences will be utilised to assist the student in the development of emergency response skills. Students will be assessed for clinical competence and maintain a portfolio of evidence in the acquisition of skill-based competencies. Ongoing achievement of midwifery practice experiences (MPEs) is required. The course is a companion course to MIDW2102 Health Complexities in Pregnancy.
