Principles of Critical Care in Midwifery

Over the last decade there has been an increase in the number of women with either existing co-morbidities or increased complexity in the childbearing years (Knight et al., 2021). As a result, midwives need to have additional knowledge and skills to enable them to identify the need for and to contribute to the interprofessional provision of safe and effective maternal critical care. This module reflects current evidence and practicums related to maternal critical care within a maternity care setting. As students progress through this module, they will be challenged to source and apply the underpinning evidence for critical care. Applicants should be NMC Registered Midwives with a minimum of one year of intrapartum experience in a Labour Ward setting within a HSC Trust.
