You will have the opportunity to complete four clinical placements in three specialist areas over a period of 27 weeks. These areas include an antenatal/postnatal ward, a labour ward and two placements in the community. Whilst on placement you will bring together all of the clinical practice skills you have learnt in Years 1 and 2. You will also have the opportunity to build on these skills and gain further confidence as you grow into the role of the midwife. You will be supported and assessed by a qualified mentor who will grade you on your clinical practice in all three areas.
This module builds on foundation and intermediate level modules offered in years 1 and 2 of the Course and links with honours level modules offered concurrently. It will provide you with the opportunity to apply, test and develop your knowledge, skills and values in clinical practice through learning opportunities provided by mentors and the link teachers. It also aims to ensure that you develop the ability to promote care that supports normality and a positive experience of childbirth. The module also provides you with the opportunity to apply research findings to practice.
During the module you will have the opportunity to consolidate your clinical skills in all midwifery areas and in particular your management and decision-making skills will be developed further through managing a small caseload of women. You will also be expected to build on your experience of caring for high risk women in year 2 and relate this to aspects of inter-professional practice, as well as collaborating with other health professionals/agencies. This module is focused on the competencies that will enable you to fulfil your role as a reflective practitioner in a range of situations.
