Midwifery 2nd Registration

Ready to make the switch from nursing to midwifery? Combine your knowledge of healthcare and your passion for women’s health as you explore this new career path at Oxford Brookes.

As a NMC registered adult nurse, you’ll build on your existing skills to make a real difference in the lives of mothers and their children, providing care and support throughout pregnancy and beyond.

After applying through NHS Jobs, your course fees will be fully funded by NHS England. You’ll also keep earning your band 5 salary while you learn on this fast-paced 2-year learning journey.

Throughout the course you’ll explore a series of modules with additional bespoke seminars factoring in your current nursing knowledge. Outside the classroom, you’ll grow quickly through putting theory into practice. You’ll experience community midwifery, midwife-led units and multidisciplinary teams caring for complex cases.

With the recent influx of funding for the midwifery profession and your fresh enthusiasm and desire to make a positive impact, you’ll play a part in the future of the midwifery profession.

Studying midwifery with us will prepare you for rewarding opportunities beyond university. You’ll become an expert in analytical thinking, effective communication, and problem solving. All skills that are essential for a rewarding role in midwifery care.

Once you’ve graduated, you will be entered onto the Nursing and Midwifery Council as a registered midwife. This means you’ll be ready to apply for band 5 midwifery positions and begin your preceptorship year.

On successful completion of the course, you will be offered optional employment with our local practice partner after a short professional discussion with them.

Further specialisms include:

• consultant midwifery
• international midwifery
• specialisms such as infant feeding, bereavement, public health
• clinical educator

Or perhaps you fancy deepening your knowledge and career further? At Oxford Brookes, we offer the option to complete a professional doctorate in midwifery as a progression route, allowing you to enjoy a career in clinical academic research or extend your area of specialism further.
