Midwifery with Registration as a Midwife

King's College London, University of London

From bump to birth and beyond, midwives play a critical role caring for women and birthing people by safely bringing their babies into the world. At King’s College London, we prepare you for everything you’ll face in that journey. You’ll learn from both clinical and academic teachers while developing practical skills through simulation and placement. Learn how to manage a range of emergencies effectively. Study case studies drawn from clinical practice. Develop a reflective approach to care – especially when reviewing complex midwifery and obstetric situations and common medical disorders encountered in childbearing women and birthing people. You’ll explore the role and responsibilities of midwives while discussing key areas like biosciences and optimising birth. With the chance to do an elective placement, you can also explore national and international perspectives of maternal health. Past students have worked in the prison service and rural areas like the Scottish Hebrides, as well as abroad in Germany and Tanzania. By the end of the course, you’ll be confident providing holistic, evidence-based, woman-led midwifery care before conception, throughout pregnancy and during the postpartum period.
