Frequently asked questions
Midwifery is the healthcare practice focused on pregnancy, childbirth, and postnatal care. It involves providing medical, emotional, and educational support to expectant parents.
The five principles of midwifery often include continuity of care, informed choice, holistic care, advocacy for patients, and evidence-based practice. These principles ensure safe and supportive maternity care.
A midwife provides medical and emotional support throughout pregnancy, labour, and the postnatal period. They assist in childbirth, monitor maternal and infant health, and educate families on newborn care.
A nurse provides general healthcare across various medical fields, while a midwife specialises in pregnancy, birth, and postnatal care. Midwives focus exclusively on maternity and newborn well-being.
Midwifery education typically takes three to four years in the UK. Some programmes may require additional training, depending on prior healthcare experience and specialisation.
Senior midwifery roles include consultant midwives, lead midwives for education, and heads of midwifery. These professionals oversee maternity care at advanced levels and contribute to healthcare policy.
