This subject focuses on complex maternal and neonatal conditions occurring during pregnancy, labour, birth, and the postnatal period. Students will gain knowledge of potential complications affecting both woman and infant, with a strong emphasis on biological and physiological factors. The subject also addresses infertility, reproductive technologies, and contemporary maternal health issues. Through a combination of theoretical learning and Midwifery Practice Experience (MPE), students develop their skills in assessing and managing obstetric emergencies, collaborating with healthcare teams, and ensuring safe transfers for women and newborns. Students will continue to gain practical experience in designated clinical areas and follow their 10 women throughout pregnancy, labour, birth and the postnatal period in a continuity of care model.
