Must be enrolled on Bachelor of Midwifery (Hons) and achieve the University regulation and compliance requirements for progression to Level 5.

This module builds on ‘Safe and Effective Midwifery Care 2’ and guides you as you progress to a developing level of proficiency in understanding continuity of care and carer in midwifery practice. You will deepen your knowledge of the midwife's multifaceted role across the entire maternity care journey, spanning from the antenatal period to the early stages of newborn infants' lives. Through exploration of diverse care environments, including antenatal, intrapartum, postnatal and the neonatal period, you will focus on creating safe, respectful, and empowering experiences for women and their families. You will begin to integrate concepts of continuity of care and carer into their clinical practice, demonstrating increasing competency in providing seamless and comprehensive care to women throughout their childbearing journey.
