This apprenticeship course provides learners the opportunity to study on the Midwifery Studies Degree Apprenticeship BSc(Hons) whilst being employed by and working in an NHS Trust. The apprenticeship programme is designed to help you become a competent, confident and autonomous practitioner with the knowledge and skills to pursue a successful midwifery career. Learning from experienced midwives and gaining real-world experience in a variety of healthcare settings, you’ll be able to prepare to make a difference in the lives of women and their families. You'll be recruited by an NHS Trust and employed by them for the duration of the your apprenticeship. You'll spend a small proportion of your contracted hours working for your NHS employer, and in the remainder of your contracted hours you'll be supported to attend the Midwifery Studies Degree Apprenticeship BSc(Hons) course, learning alongside traditional route BSc(Hons) midwifery students.
