This is the second workplace integrated learning unit in a series of six clinical midwifery practice units. In this unit students build on the clinical experience and competencies developed in the first practicum. In this unit, the focus is the Continuity of Midwifery model of maternity care. Students will be prepared for their exposure to Continuity of Midwifery practice settings through an intensive series of lectures and clinical skills workshops. A range of external maternity care University associates will be involved in students' learning. Students will have the opportunity to further develop the knowledge, techniques and skills required by the midwife. These include assessment of antenatal, intrapartum and postpartum women, and newborns. Clinical reasoning skills with a focus on woman-centred health assessment, management, education and promotion are also developed in this unit.
