APPLICATIONS TO MIDWIFERY

THE MORNING

  • Entry Routes To Midwifery
  • Personal Statement
  • Midwifery School Interviews
Book this course

Our midwifery course is run by current midwifery students and practising midwives. Midwifery degrees have experienced a boom in applications over the last few years, and when first looking into the profession, students can be taken aback by just how competitive it can be.

Here’s what takes place in the morning of your work experience day with us:

 

Entry Routes to Midwifery

First, we concentrate on applying to study midwifery at University. We cover various tips and tricks to give you the best possible chance of successfully gaining a place at university to become a midwife.

We’ll give you the lowdown on all of the universities in the UK that offer midwifery courses. We’ll delve into the pros and cons of each one, and the learning structure each university uses. By the end of this section, you can find the university that fits your learning style the best.

 

Midwifery Personal Statement

Next up, we’ll discuss the personal statement for midwifery. You only get around 47 lines to impress, that’s about 1 side of A4 paper. So, not a lot of room to convince the admissions team that you deserve a place!

Our team of midwives and midwifery students will guide you through the ideal midwifery personal statement, showing you exactly what you should concentrate on and what to avoid.

 

Midwifery School Interviews

Your final hurdle to achieving that place at university to study midwifery is the dreaded interview. We’ll go through and practice some of the common questions and challenges you will face during the interview. 

Midwifery interviews often have a group working element to them where the panel will be looking for students who work well within a team. The challenge is to be seen but not dominate proceedings- and not remain silent either! We’ll show you how to strike the right balance so the whole process isn’t a shock on the day.

After a break for lunch, the afternoon session of our day is spent gaining some midwifery work experience.

WORK EXPERIENCE FOR MIDWIFERY

In the afternoon, we delve into some midwifery work experience. Here’s what takes place after your lunch break:

 

Midwifery Work Experience

The heart of the afternoon lies in gaining practical clinical skills. Seasoned midwives take participants under their wing, providing a unique opportunity to witness the day-to-day responsibilities of a midwife. This hands-on experience allows aspiring midwives to peek behind the curtain and understand what it’s really like to be a midwife.

 

Case Studies and Scan Reports

Dive into the world of fetal anomalies through the exploration of both common and uncommon cases. Participants will have the chance to review actual scan reports, gaining firsthand exposure to the challenges and complexities that await in a midwifery career. This segment serves as a bridge between theoretical knowledge and practical application, preparing participants for becoming a midwife.

 

Live Q&A

Cap off the afternoon with a live question and answer session. Engage directly with experienced midwives, asking burning questions about the profession, career paths, and the challenges and rewards of the midwifery field. This interactive session aims to give participants a well-rounded understanding of what to expect in their future midwifery endeavours.

 

Gain Valuable Midwifery Skills

Following our midwifery course, participants will have a deeper understanding of the profession. This immersive experience goes beyond the theory, focusing on practical skills that are fundamental to success in becoming a midwife.

Unlocking Teamwork: 

Through collaborative exercises and interactive scenarios, participants learn essential teamwork skills. Engaging with experienced midwives encourages you to learn to communicate effectively, coordinate efforts, and navigate the challenges of a team-oriented profession.

Decision-Making Excellence

Navigate real-world midwifery challenges and make informed decisions in a controlled, supportive environment. This hands-on experience empowers participants to develop decision-making skills crucial to the dynamic nature of a midwifery career.

Confidence Building

Our midwifery course is designed to be a confidence-building experience. As participants actively participate in simulations and scenarios, they gain the assurance needed to approach challenges with poise and competence – essential skills for a midwife.

 

Receive Your Certificate: Show Off Your Dedication
