Background
Would you like to develop your knowledge and skills in relation to midwifery practice, management and care? If so, we offer a range of study days and workshops, for example, Obesity in Pregnancy, Genital Sepsis and Complementary Therapies.
Additionally midwifery courses can be undertaken on a free standing basis, or you can work towards the flexible modular degree programme leading to the award of BA (Hons) in Health & Social Care (Applied Midwifery Practice). The modular programme offers midwives the opportunity to gain academic credit by studying contemporary issues in midwifery practice. The opportunity to study generic modules within a multidisciplinary group is also available.
