Midwifery At A Glance eBook

Part of the highly visual and accessible at a Glance series, this is an easy-to-read yet comprehensive overview of everything a midwifery student needs to know. The typical midwifery course is three years long and covers anatomy and physiology, evidence-based practice, the normal and abnormal pregnancy, complicated births and the effect of pre-existing medical conditions, key clinical skills, and obstetric and neonatal emergencies. 50% of learning occurs on a ward/clinical/placement based setting and this theory/practice split is evident from the beginning of the course.
