Please note that given the circumstances of COVID-19, there may be some modifications to the assessment schedule promoted in Handbook for Semester 1 2020 Units.

This is the first workplace integrated learning unit in a series of six clinical midwifery practice units. In this unit students are introduced to midwifery philosophies, definitions and frameworks, and the practice of woman-centred midwifery. Students will also be prepared for clinical midwifery practice settings and the conduct of continuity of care experiences through an intensive series of lectures and clinical skills workshops provided by the core midwifery teaching team in conjunction with a range of woman-centred midwifery and allied maternity care associates. Students will have the opportunity to develop the knowledge, techniques and skills required by the professional midwife to perform comprehensive midwifery health assessments including the basic physical assessment of antenatal, intrapartum and postpartum women, and newborns. Beginning level clinical reasoning skills with a focus on woman-centred health assessment and management, symptom assessment, and promoting function are also developed in this unit.
