They have a duty of care to their clients during their journey to motherhood. Helping them to adjust from not having a baby, to suddenly having this little life that they are responsible for.

National Institute for Health Care Excellence (2017) Intrapartum Care for Healthy Women and Babies. Available at: https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg190 We may be able to consider a transfer from another midwifery course at the end of Year 1 if we have placement capacity and if there is a sufficient match between the Year 1 learning outcomes for the two courses. The ability to communicate effectively is also necessary for midwives. As you are directing someone through possibly the hardest and most painful event of their adult life, you will need to communicate instructions clearly and concisely in the case of a medical emergency or complication. As such, you’ll also need to be able to cope with distressing situations as a midwife.
