This subject will provide students with extended clinical experience to develop their role of the midwife in providing woman centered care in alignment with the NMBA Midwifery Standards of Practice (2018). Students will apply their knowledge and skills to assess and plan evidence-based midwifery care in partnership with the woman. Decision making and reflective practice are emphasised to ensure safe and effective care is provided for both the woman and her baby in both hospital and community setting.
