When a student is found to be at very high risk of severe effects from a COVID infection, it may be recommended that they defer the start of their course or interrupt their studies. Midwifery is a practice-based discipline and the course requires attendance in the clinical learning environment alongside theory learning. This includes integration of high-quality face-to-face and online learning activities, such as lectures, small group seminars, skills simulation, directed reading and case studies. We want to reflect these values in all of our work with and for midwives. Foundations of our midwifery workA midwife is someone who needs to remain calm in stressful situations, putting others at ease. And since many births have challenges or complications, a reassuring, caring nature is essential to have a successful midwifery career. Midwives may choose to continue to develop as expert clinicians or develop careers in service management, research, education or public health. Studying for our integrated master's in Midwifery will develop your leadership skills in all these areas, providing you with a big step-up in your midwifery career.

Part-time midwifery courses are also available. If you are working in a relevant role and want to make the career switch, you can do so without having to give up work entirely. These part-time midwifery degrees typically take around five to six years to complete in full. Candidates will still sit a 10 station OSCE but these changes will mean that there will be a greater selection of skills that could be assessed which will make the assessment less predictable. We will continue to develop new stations covering different skills and scenarios, so it is important that candidates and those supporting them incorporate the NMC blueprint and standards into their preparation for the test. It's also a criminal offence for someone to falsely represent themselves as being on our register and use the protected title of ‘Midwife’, or falsely represent themselves as possessing midwifery qualifications. Our midwifery planIf you have concerns about an existing medical condition, disability or learning support need, you can be reassured that we will offer support through our excellent Student Occupational Health Department and Disability Advisory and Support Office Newborn and Infant Physical Examination (NIPE): The theory part of this additional qualification is included in your degree. This is also part of the Standards of proficiency for midwives. The principle focus in Year 4 is leadership, reflecting the national and local goals to deliver improvements in maternity care through strong, effective midwifery leadership (RCM, 2019).
