Overview

The Midwifery (Pre-registration) course from the University of West London designed for graduates will provide you with the skills to become a midwife who can practise in a variety of settings and provide safe and effective care across the maternity continuum.

You will learn through a combination of classroom, online and simulation-based activities, and hands-on experience in clinical placements in a variety of NHS Trust maternity units.

The duration of the course is three years and has been developed with input from students, service users and our NHS partners to provide you with the academic and professional qualifications you need to be eligible to register with the NMC as a midwife.

You will be studying alongside students on the BMidwifery (Hons) course, albeit studying at a higher academic level.

Throughout the course, there is a strong emphasis on childbirth as a normal physiological process and you will gain a sound understanding of the role of the midwife and the foundations of midwifery care. As you progress through the course, you will develop and apply your knowledge to a variety of contexts.

You will learn:

to become a kind, caring and compassionate midwife who can take the lead in providing women the best care possible in a safe, supportive environment
how to recognise and manage a range of complex and emergency situations
how to engage with current research and apply evidence to your practice

to work as a professional, both on your own and as part of an interdisciplinary team.

Career opportunities:

This course will prepare you to apply for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), the regulatory body for midwives.

Most of our graduates go on to work with the NHS Trust where they undertook their placement or with another prominent NHS Trust.

As a qualified midwife, you could work in a range of settings, including:

within the community
in a hospital
as part of a case loading team
in the private sector.
