Midwives offer care and support to pregnant women/birthing people, their partners, and their families. They provide care throughout the pregnancy continuum, which includes antenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum care.
Equality and diversity are important for providing high-quality care for women/birthing persons and their families. Within our midwifery programmes, we aim to provide a truly inclusive curriculum, recognising and valuing differences in the broadest sense. We also strive to ensure all our midwifery students feel valued and included.
The MSc Midwifery Post RN (pre-registration) programme is aimed at Adult Nursing graduates (NMC registered) wishing to pursue a career in midwifery. This is an opportunity to study midwifery at master's level, providing a strong basis for a future career in clinical work, alongside research, education, management, leadership, or consultancy.
