Introduction
Midwifery is a distinct health profession which can be incredibly rewarding. Midwives work in partnership with women and their families to give support, care and advice during pregnancy, labour and the postnatal period. Midwives can work in the community, in stand-alone birth centres and hospitals within the NHS or within private health care.
Edge Hill University trains high quality midwives to uphold the values and standards that have made UK midwives so well regarded across the world. Our BSc (Hons) Pre-Registration Midwifery programme is an approved Nursing and Midwifery Council education programme and on successful completion you will meet the professional requirements for midwifery practice and be eligible to join the register as a midwife.
Edge Hill University also offers a wide range of continuous professional development (CPD) opportunities for experienced midwives who want to develop their skills.
