The underpinning philosophy of woman-centered, value based care is foundational to this subject. Students will explore aspects of pregnancy planning, reproduction, conception and fetal development and how these influence the outcome of a healthy newborn baby. In particular, students will focus on the promotion of a healthy outcome of pregnancy and the midwife's advocacy role to support women to make choices about their care.
Learning Outcomes

- explain the anatomy and physiology across the continuum of care;
- describe the role of the midwife in screening and assessment in promoting a healthy pregnancy outcome;
- plan and implement strategies for ethical and culturally safe midwifery care including the provision of education and information using appropriate media technologies;
- apply the NMBA Midwifery Standards for Practice (2018) in supporting woman centred care.
