This new Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) approved three year apprenticeship programme has been specifically designed to build upon your strengths to support you to achieve the knowledge, skills and behaviours to become a professional and motivated midwife and meet the ‘Midwife (2019 NMC standards) (degree) ST0948 occupational standard. The role of the midwife as a catalyst for improving the health of families is well-recognised, and reflecting the focus within the NHS Long Term Plan (2019) this course includes a strong focus on current public health priorities, the care of vulnerable groups, and the increasingly complex health needs of childbearing women.

This Midwifery Degree Apprenticeship (MDA) programme is aligned to our Bachelor of Midwifery (with Honours) programme and follows the same structure. However, as an apprentice you will be employed in a job with legal and contractual terms and conditions. Following successful completion of the programme you will be awarded a Bachelor of Midwifery (with Honours) Apprenticeship qualification and an Apprenticeship
Award Certificate.

This programme offers you ''added value'' opportunities such as Resuscitation Council approved Neonatal Life Support (NLS) training and Undergraduate PrOMPT (Practical Obstetric Multi-Professional Training) courses, as well as providing you with full training to become competent in NIPE (Newborn and Infant Physical Examination) prior to registration.

Job Roles/
Occupations

You will be prepared for the developing role of the midwife and be equipped with the tools to be integrated into a sustainable, reflective workforce. Once qualified, this will open up the prospect of many jobs in clinical practice, hospital or community settings, research, teaching or managerial roles.

Registered midwives (RM) continue to study after they have qualified, often in a specialist area, as they develop their career path.

Qualifications

On successful completion of this professionally accredited programme, you will have achieved a Bachelor of Midwifery (with Honours) Apprenticeship degree and will be eligible to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council as a registered midwife. In addition, you will also receive an Apprenticeship Award Certificate.
