Midwifery Pre-Registration BSc (Hons) De Montfort University

Program Description

Midwives are fully accountable as the lead professional for the care and support of women and their families. They provide evidence informed care and work as part of the multidisciplinary team, liaising closely where necessary with obstetricians, general practitioners, health visitors/public health practitioners and maternity support workers/maternity care assistants. Midwives have an increasingly greater public health role aiming to meet the challenges of reducing inequalities and improving maternal and family health. Midwifery education, whilst rooted in normality, prepares midwives to care for all women including those with complex medical, obstetric and social needs. It prepares and develops midwives to be skilled and safe, empathic and trustworthy, developing skills of autonomy and accountability within multidisciplinary and multi-agency teams.
