Module code: MID7509-B
The aim of this module is to build on learning from ‘Transition to Midwifery Knowledge 1: Universal Care’ and ‘Transitioning Midwifery Knowledge 2: Additional Care’. You will explore and critically analyse the position of women, motherhood and midwives in society recognising organisational, national, and global agendas. You will consider the cultural context of the midwife using a national and global lens. The module will facilitate development of knowledge of sustainability within midwifery, on a global and national level, whilst exploring historical, ethical and feminist perspectives. You will develop an understanding of the influence of underpinning theoretical concepts on policy, culture, research and technology, and how this influences and shapes current and future midwifery care. You will explore ethical perspectives in the context of dilemmas faced by mothers and midwives through a sociological lens. There will be a focus on research methodology, and you will be introduced to tools and skills for critical appraisal to inform the development of skills, knowledge and understanding required of the midwife as scholar.
