You may deal with situations that you find difficult, and emotionally separating yourself from these situations is essential. This course has been updated for students starting in September 2022 to align with the revised Nursing and Midwifery Councils (2019) Standards for pre-registration midwifery programmes and Standards of Proficiency for Midwives. We require Scottish Highers/ Advanced Highers at grades AABBC / ABBBB, including Biology or Chemistry at grade B or above preferably with one subject at Advanced Higher level. This book promotes an evidence-based paradigm of fetal heart rate monitoring during labour, with a move away from the traditional 'pattern-based' interpretation to physiology-based interpretation.

Standards of competence for registered midwives

Recognising areas of improvement through self-awareness and reflection is paramount to maintaining and improving the skills ofcommunication.

Entry requirements are based on achievement of the full National Diploma with grades D*D, with no units below merit level plus an A-level in Biology or Chemistry at Grade B.

We may be able to consider a transfer from another midwifery course at the end of Year 1 if we have placement capacity and if there is a sufficient match between the Year 1 learning outcomes for the two courses. Our standards sit alongside the Code, which outlines the standards of behaviour and conduct expected of professionals on our register, and our standards for revalidation, which promote lifelong learning. It reflects the new standards and key performance indicators (KPIs) from Public Health England (2016b).If you are a home schooled student and would like further information or advice please contact the academic School for your chosen course who will be able to help you. Successful completion of the integrated master's in midwifery will give you a step-up as you prepare for your career progression. I have often found it difficult as a midwife to understand my own judgements and feelings, which presents a barrier to effective listening and affects perception (England and Morgan 2012). This unit also considers the many roles of the midwife, in particular as leaders, communicators, professionals and change-makers. Childbearing and intrapartum skills are also extensively covered as are neonatal assessment and nutrition, principles of phlebotomy and intravenous therapy, moving and handling, wound management and CPR.
