Midwifery

About this course

Midwifery is a specialist clinical profession built around the care of women and their families from early pregnancy through to the weeks after birth. Midwives work with a high degree of clinical autonomy in the management of normal pregnancy and childbirth, and in close partnership with obstetricians, neonatologists, and other health professionals when complexity or risk is identified. The role demands both the technical precision of a clinician and the sustained human presence that women in labour and new parents depend on. At the University of the West of Scotland, this three-year full-time programme prepares you for registration as a midwife with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. You will study the physiology of pregnancy, labour, and the postnatal period, pharmacology and medication management, neonatal care, safeguarding, and the evidence base that underlies contemporary midwifer
