MMid Midwifery

Our aim is to educate midwifery post graduates who will positively impact women, birthing people, families and communities early in their professional lives, thereafter being at the forefront of innovative professional change.

We run a unique programme, designed to accelerate your career and enable you to positively impact midwifery and maternity care. You will become a skilled, knowledgeable and compassionate midwife, providing comprehensive care for women, birthing people, newborn infants and families.

Your practice will be characterised by advanced scholarship, critical thinking skills and your quest for excellence. You will display an autonomous professional identity, underpinned by comprehensive interpersonal skills and fluency in building and sustaining relationships with multi agency care teams.

Through varied and stimulating academic and practice learning modules you will gain the knowledge, skills and experience to provide safe, universal and advanced midwifery care. In your final masters year you will explore content at the forefront of the midwifery discipline which will enable you to demonstrate fluent masters level clinical practice. You will critically explore contemporary midwifery practice and advanced midwifery leadership, and lead a service improvement project.

We keep our cohorts small, meaning you’ll have all the peer and academic support you need to progress through your course.
