Module code: MID7508-B
The aim of this module is to build on learning from 'Transition to Midwifery Knowledge 1: Universal Care'. This module provides the opportunity to explore the knowledge, skills, and behaviours that underpin provision of safe, positive experiences of care to women, infants, and families with additional or complex physical, social, and psychological needs during the antenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal periods. This module will deliver underpinning theoretical knowledge which will then inform practical application within the year-long module 'Transition to Midwifery Practice'. You will learn about the physiology of complex pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period and critically analyse the impact of longer-term physical, psychological and social health and well-being of the family, in addition to exploring the impact on public health issues, health inequalities, and digital exclusion. The module will support your exploration of the wider leadership role of the midwife within maternal and neonatal public health, incorporating a multidisciplinary perspective. This provides an opportunity to develop critical insight relating to inter- and intra-professional communication and sharing of information when additional care needs arise.
