Midwifery with Registered Midwife for Registered Nurses (Adult) MMid

About

This two year course is ideal for UK registered adult nurses who have already studied at degree level and wish to gain the knowledge and skills to register as a midwife with the NMC.

There is an emphasis on clinical skills teaching and we aim to ensure your clinical placements reflect the modules you study, enabling you to integrate theory and practice. You will work with midwives in hospitals and the community, caring for women and birthing people, and their families through pregnancy and birth and providing postnatal care.

You will be taught by experienced midwives, healthcare specialists and wider NHS experts. You will study the midwifery profession and practice, including a wide range of subjects that provide the scientific knowledge base for midwifery practice, such as maternal and neonatal physiology and care; health promotion and education; professional, ethical and legal issues; and research.

Salary Support

In September 2024, this course was funded by the government with salary support worth equivalent to the mid-point of AFC band 5 and a tuition fee contribution of up to £9,250 per student per annum, pro rata for the length of the course.

Each year we are notified by Health Education England about the number of places available. We are currently waiting for confirmation from the government about support available for 2025.

Career opportunities

Midwifery today is a highly attractive career with good financial rewards and excellent employment prospects in the UK and overseas.

The majority of midwives work in the NHS, either in the community working alongside GPs, district nurses and social workers, or in hospital environments in partnership with obstetricians, anaesthetists and neonatologists. Others work in private maternity hospitals or practice independently.

There are many practice-based roles and also management opportunities in both midwifery and general health care which can enable midwives to develop and support modern midwifery practice. Midwives may also take on consultant roles.
