- Clinical Placement

Midwives need to be confident enough to communicate with all types of people from all walks of life. Midwives work in a variety of places: maternity units in large general hospitals, smaller, midwifery-led unit, private maternity hospitals, group practices, birth centres and in the community and home environments.
Career opportunities are predominantly within the NHS and remain excellent. Graduates from this course are well received by employers with opportunities for working in independent practice increasing. Midwives now have the opportunity to work in a range of jobs as specialist practitioners, researchers, managers, teachers and governance posts.
