About this Unit
From 2018 this unit is replaced by 401226 Midwifery Practice – Global Maternal Health. In this unit students will undertake a three week practice placement in an alternative model of midwifery care. The model of care chosen can be located within the Sydney metropolitan area or a rural area of NSW, and must be with a health service that has a current arrangement with Western Sydney University.
