Course Summary

Our MSc Midwifery short course for Registered Nurses is an intensive programme designed to develop your abilities as a professional midwife. We’ll enable you to gain the skills needed to ensure that women, birthing people and families get to enjoy a positive and healthy pregnancy and birth experience.

This short course prepares registered nurses to meet the needs of maternity services and transforms graduate nurses into registered midwives with an academic masters.

We take a blended learning approach. You’ll spend half your time developing your skills under expert supervision in a clinical setting. The rest of your time will be spent learning the theory in a University environment.

As you progress you’ll develop an advanced understanding of the childbirth continuum – from preconception to birth.

Modules

This module aims to provide students with the opportunity to reflect upon their experiences and advance their knowledge and skills in three key areas. First how psychosocial factors interact and influence access, perceptions and experiences of midwifery and wider perinatal care. Second, the specific interventions and support in place to address psychosocial wellbeing, and finally the wider implications of psychosocial wellbeing on maternal, child and family health.
