Product Description

Product Description

The NMC have produced standards of proficiency for pre registration midwifery education and those standards have been written in an “academic” language, for higher education institutions. Each student prior to being admitted to the profession must have achieved the proficiencies stated in the NMC publication.

The purpose of this book is to provide students with material related to the standards of midwifery education. The students will be able to use the contents of this text and relate it to their own approved programme of midwifery study, as their programme of study would have had to comply with NMC’s requirements. It will help student midwives appreciate how their own programmes have been designed, and why they are required to study and understand some of the subjects they are, or will be studying.

From the Back Cover

The title registered midwife is a protected title in law.  This means it can only be used by a person who is registered with the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC).  Becoming a Midwife in the 21st Century explores the fundamental aspects of midwifery practice based on the NMC′s standards of proficiency for pre registration midwifery education, and guides the reader through the journey of becoming a registered midwife. 

Becoming a Midwife in the 21st Century is a contemporary text reflecting current midwifery practice.  It will enable students to understand fundamental aspects of clinical practice in order to provide safe and effective care to women and their families in various situations and settings.  It will help the reader develop their caring skills with a sound knowledge base, which will underpin the delivery of care– preparing them for registration with the NMC. 

This text is:

  • Written by midwives for student midwives and those who intend to undertake a programme of study leading to registration as a midwife

  • Accessible and interactive with case studies and activities throughout, enabling the reader to link theory to practice.

  • Applicable to a number of care settings– ie hospital, birth centre, community and independent midwifery practice.

This text will be invaluable to all midwifery students, health care assistants, those undertaking NVQ level of study, or anyone who intends to undertake a programme of study leading to registration as a midwife.

Ambiguous Feelings 23 Aug 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Being fair I would mention the good point about the book is that it has very good references to deepen your knowledge about any topic you are interested in. As the chapters are wriutten by different people the quality, structure and contents are diverse ranging from excellente to not as good. The bad points are how repetitive can be some of the chapters and how they fill the pages with ridiculous examples. It really made me impatient. In some topics I didn't feel they cover enough.
