Midwifery

Midwifery at Edge Hill University prepares students to become skilled, knowledgeable and compassionate midwives, providing person-centred care through pregnancy, birth and beyond. The programme is taught across the whole academic year, following the natural rhythm of pregnancy, and builds evidence-based practice throughout. Students spend substantial time in more than one NHS organisation, learning through clinical practice in several maternity environments. Learning draws on evidence and research, building the skills to support women, birthing people and families through changing needs. Graduates become eligible to register as midwives, opening routes into hospital, community, birth centre and independent practice, in the UK or abroad. Their training covers pregnancy, labour, birth and the postnatal period, preparing them for demanding and rewarding work. Students graduate ready for professional practice in varied settings.
