92287 Midwifery Caseload Practice

Subject level: Undergraduate

Handbook description

This subject enables students to build on their learning in previous practice subjects so that they have the skills, knowledge and confidence to provide midwifery continuity of care. The subject enables opportunities to attain competence in all areas of midwifery practice including: keeping birth normal, electronic fetal monitoring, obstetric emergencies, neonatal resuscitation, perineal suturing and supporting women experiencing breastfeeding difficulties. Students continue to undertake their 'follow-through' continuity experiences. In particular, they work in a midwifery group practice model alongside midwives who work in caseload practice.
