MID440 Midwifery Practice (8)

The student midwife must be employed (0.8 FTE - 1.0FTE) by an approved participating maternity unit for the duration of this subject. MID440 constitutes the compulsory clinical component of the Postgraduate Diploma of Midwifery program. Essential minimum clinical midwifery experiences identified by the NMB must be competently demonstrated in order for the student to be eligible to apply for registration as a midwife. Achievement of these midwifery skills, clinical placement hours and competencies are recorded, assessed and reflected upon in this subject. The student is also required to critically examine issues that can impact on woman-centred midwifery care.
