Advanced Practice (Midwifery) - Postgraduate Certificate

The primary aim of this programme is to enable the graduate to develop personally and professionally, to become a competent practitioner at advanced practice level. The realisation of this goal is guided by three key dimensions, encompassed within the education philosophy of the curriculum, focusing on the student, the professional understanding of midwifery and emerging practice levels.

• Programme specific modules support the development of an advanced practitioner, who is innovative at assessing and managing care in partnership with women, takes responsibility for decisions made, is person-centered and an active member of the multi-professional team.
• Advanced Practice Clinical Practicum 1 and 2 whereby students work in practice as part of the normal working week and supervised by mentors as agreed in a service led agreement with HSE partners.
