The Graduate Certificate of Diagnostics and Prescribing for Midwives is an online course. This course is designed to provide you with core knowledge and skills needed for the expanded role of the Endorsed Midwife. The course is addressing experienced Registered Midwives with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) who want to enhance their professional practice in the safe and effective prescribing of scheduled medicines as well as in midwifery diagnostics including the ordering and interpreting of investigative tests for childbearing women.
The course builds on the knowledge you have already gained through your midwifery studies and professional experience. Throughout the course there is an emphasis on woman-centred care that is culturally responsive and applied within primary, secondary or tertiary healthcare settings where an Endorsed Midwife provides care.
