BSc (Hons) Midwifery with NMC Registration in Leicester United Kingdom | De Montfort University

Midwives serve as the primary healthcare providers for women and their families, taking full responsibility for their care. They deliver care based on evidence and collaborate within multidisciplinary teams, working alongside obstetricians, GPs, health visitors, public health specialists, and maternity support staff. With a focus on public health, midwives address health disparities and enhance maternal and family wellbeing. Their training emphasizes natural childbirth while equipping them to manage complex medical, obstetric, and social needs. Midwives develop clinical expertise, empathy, and professional accountability, working autonomously yet collaboratively across healthcare teams. Their holistic approach centers on being 'with woman,' valuing continuity of care and the vital midwife-patient relationship in 21st-century practice.
