BSc (Hons) Midwifery

The BSc (Hons) Midwifery course aims to: Develop midwives who meet the Standards of proficiency for midwives (NMC 2019) and become eligible for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). Develop midwives who will act as leaders and change agents, aware of the significance of innovation, creativity and best available evidence in the evaluation and development of woman-centred care and the maternity services. Promote collaborative working with service users, interdisciplinary and multiagency teams in contemporary midwifery practice. Develop midwives who recognise their own strengths and exercise responsibility for their own professional and career development.

This course is newly approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). It is designed in partnership with healthcare providers, current students, service users and commissioners, based around the framework of NMC standards and the Lancet series to ensure the highest quality care for women and their families and an excellent quality of education for the student midwives.

Students will have an opportunity to support and provide care for women and their families through the continuum of childbirth including those who require additional care. You'll have an opportunity to develop your practice skills, applying your learning in a variety of maternity settings.
