What is Midwifery?

Midwives care for women and their families throughout pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. They have an important role in promoting health and wellbeing. They are experts in, and the lead professionals for, women experiencing normal childbirth. They also provide and coordinate care, in partnership with other professionals, for women who have more complex needs.

At Oxford Brookes as well as midwifery-specific knowledge, we cover;

Atonomy and physiology
evidence-based practice
research skills
the social, psychological, ethical, multicultural and interprofessional dimensions of midwifery care.
