MM Masters in Midwifery

About

Help shape the future of midwifery with our three-year Master of Midwifery programme.

Overview

Midwives provide skilled, knowledgeable and compassionate care to women, newborn infants and their families. They work across the continuum of pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, labour, birth, postpartum and the early weeks of a newborn infant's life. To meet these needs our programme reflects a dynamic, student-centred approach to learning, teaching and assessment.

It aims to prepare you for practice as an accountable and autonomous midwife with a focus on:

â€¢ mastery of the knowledge and skills required to provide safe and effective midwifery care to women and their families
â€¢ the interpersonal and cultural competence required for effective and collaborative working
â€¢ developing self-capability in a midwifery leadership context, particularly in relation to quality, safety and efficacy
â€¢ demonstrating commitment to ongoing research, audit and service evaluation to enhance professional learning, policy and practice

The deadline for January 2023 applications is 26 August 2022.

Equip yourself with the requisite knowledge of evidence-based midwifery practice and skills.

This three-year Master of Midwifery programme is subject to the â€کNMC Standards for pre-registration midwifery programmes' . This requires that 50% of programme learning is theoretical and 50% is practical. Theoretical content will be delivered online using a variety of student-centred interactive approaches. The simulation and practice of clinical skills will take place face-to-face in our Simulation and Clinical Skills Centre prior to placement experiences. Clinical placements are undertaken with our Health Board partners in NHS Lothian, Forth Valley, Fife and Borders â€“ all candidates should be aware that they may be placed in any of these areas. You will also have the opportunity to organise a four-week elective clinical placement at home or abroad as part of your programme.

Over the next decade the Scottish Government plans to implement a new strategy which will re-shape maternity services in Scotland. This programme will enable you to be a part of this dynamic and exciting change and contribute to improving the care and experiences of women and their families across Scotland.

Additional mandatory costs

Students are expected to pay for the registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, آ£120.
