Content
Students are introduced to caring for the woman and neonate experiencing an emergency event in pregnancy, labour and birth and/or the postnatal period.
This unit provides an opportunity for students to relate anatomy and pathophysiology to the prevention or early detection and response of the midwife to maternal or neonatal emergencies. The principles of safe and quality care will be applied to the emergency setting with a focus on the escalation of care, communication, teamwork, and leadership.
During a 188 hour Midwifery Practice Experience students will develop mindsets and apply knowledge and skills learned in this unit and previous units.
