The underpinning philosophy of woman-centered, value based care is foundational to
this subject. Students will explore aspects of pregnancy planning, reproduction, conception
and fetal development and how these influence the outcome of a healthy newborn baby.
In particular, students will focus on the promotion of a healthy outcome of pregnancy
and the midwife's advocacy role to support women to make choices about their care.
Learning Outcomes
- outline the evidence base for continuity of care in support of a woman centred approach
to midwifery care;
- explain the anatomy and physiology across the continuum of care;
- describe the role of the midwife in screening and assessment in promoting a healthy
pregnancy outcome;
- plan and implement strategies for ethical and culturally safe midwifery care including
the provision of education and information using appropriate media technologies;
- apply the NMBA Midwifery Standards for Practice (2018) in supporting woman centred
care.
