This is the sixth and final workplace integrated learning unit in a series of six clinical midwifery practice units. Students will be prepared for their final practice experience through an intensive series of lectures and clinical skills workshops provided by the core midwifery teaching team in conjunction with a range of women-centred midwifery and allied maternity care associates. This practicum unit will provide students with the opportunity to practice applied midwifery across the entire childbearing continuum and the spectrum of maternal and neonatal needs. Students will continue to develop the requisite skills to provide sensitive, safe, supportive and culturally appropriate midwifery care within the mandatory legal, professional and ethical frameworks for midwifery and within an interdisciplinary context. Students will provide evidence-based care and further refine their clinical skills in selected health care settings.
