Human rights in childbearing 9. Framing human rights within a concept-based midwifery curriculum

Summary

The new NMC standards for
midwifery education present
a challenge for midwifery
educators in the UK as midwifery
students are required to
qualify with additional skills
and competencies, as well as
have the skills, knowledge and
proficiencies to ensure inclusivity
for each individual that accesses
midwifery and maternity care.
It is extremely challenging to
prepare students for each and
every practice scenario that they
will encounter. The midwifery
education team at Bangor
University are utilising a concept- based pedagogical approach
commonly used for health care
education in North America.
