In response to the challenge of delivering the NSF for Maternity, we now have two pathways through our programme. The first offers a policy/research pathway offering a strong grounding in policy analysis and research, with options in health economics and public health. The second has a clinical focus with options in clinical supervision or managing midwifery led care focusing on birth centres and caseload practice. Both pathways provide a strong grounding in conducting a structured review, research methods and students are expected to conduct an empirical study or a work-based service development project. 

On completion of the course, students are expected to have an understanding of international, political, social and ethical issues of reproduction and a scientific basis for examining midwifery practice and policy.  In addition they gain skills in critical appraisal, project management and public speaking.

Programmes are available full or part-time and are open to midwives from outside the UK.
