On this course you’ll be given opportunities across a range of clinical settings. After your first year you’ll rotate to a different Trust, and then return to the first Trust in your third year. You’ll work both in hospitals and out in the community, with placement partners there to support you at every step. As part of your clinical practice, you’ll be allocated a small group of expectant mothers as part of your caseload. This means you get to experience the long-term challenge of providing quality care to a mother and her newborn, including being on call for the birth. In your second year, you’ll also have the option of choosing a module that allows you to work nationally or internationally. You’ll be able to take part in a range of activities with students from other health and social care courses. These activities are designed to improve your employability skills such as the Hallam Leadership Award, which helps you prepare to become a future midwifery leader.

During your placement year you will pay a reduced fee of £1,200.
