| This is the second practical unit in a series of six clinical midwifery units. Students will continue to learn midwifery practice skills that promote safe physiological pregnancy, labour, birth, transition to motherhood and breastfeeding initiation for women and their infants. Students will build upon fundamental midwifery clinical skills that enables them to support women, their babies, and any person the woman identifies as being significant to her during a normal pregnancy, labour, birth, and as the woman initiates breastfeeding. To meet accreditation requirements students must demonstrate the capacity to establish, build, maintain and close continuity of midwifery care in their Continuity of Midwifery Care Experiences (CoMCE). Students will also attend 40 hours of simulation block (hurdle) and complete 120 hours Professional Experience Placement (PEP) (hurdle), allocated by CDU as a part of this unit. Please refer to the Faculty of Health website for further details on the requirements for placements and other important information. |
