Midwifery

The role midwives have in preparing women for the delivery of new life makes them a vital presence during all stages of pregnancy, labour and the early postnatal period.

Every student midwife is important to us and at the University of Central Lancashire we aim to support and encourage you, to develop into a confident and competent midwife.
