Over the duration of the course, learners will develop the knowledge, skills, and professional behaviours, that are necessary to become compassionate, competent, and committed healthcare professionals. Academic and clinical knowledge and skills will be developed throughout this rewarding course, using inclusive, authentic, learning approaches and simulated learning environments.

 

Students will gain their clinical experience in our partner clinical sites; Our Lady of Lourdes Maternity Unit, Drogheda, Cavan Hospital Maternity Unit and Letterkenny University Hospital Maternity Unit. Students will engage with both theoretical and practical learning opportunities, in preparation for their clinical placements. Many of these will take place within our state-ofthe- art clinical skills laboratories. Midwifery placements account for fifty percent of this course and enable students to develop the professional knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to fulfil the role of a midwife.
