Students who study this subject will examine the contexts in which midwifery care is delivered. As midwives, they will gain an understanding of both a rural and metropolitan context and how these contexts can impact on their midwifery care. Additionally, students will explore a feminist and primary health care context and critically appraise their practice with regard to these.
