Midwifery
Midwifery is a demanding, but extremely rewarding profession. The care midwives provide to women, babies and families is crucial to the future health and wellbeing of society. Across the United Kingdom midwives are key professionals in ensuring that women have a safe and emotionally satisfying experience during their pregnancy, childbirth and postnatal period.
Bournemouth University has a long and successful history of delivering midwifery education programmes. The midwifery teaching team is a cohesive group of highly motivated teachers who are passionate about midwifery. We are student centred, thus enabling students in turn to be women centred. Above all we hope to develop students who are able to develop positive and caring relationships with women and their families. As a team we aim to provide challenging and stimulating learning.
The midwifery team have a variety of clinical experience and expertise ranging from normal childbirth to those women with complex social, obstetric and medical needs; breast feeding, care of the newborn in challenging situations, student caseload holding, independent and NHS practice as well as statutory supervision of midwives. All midwife teachers are registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, the regulatory body for nurses and midwives (www.nmc-uk.org). We also have a variety of research interests, which link closely to our experience and expertise.
