Midwife Seminar - UCLAN - 9.45am - 2.30pm - 17/9/19

Aug, 27 2019


~Have you ever watched the Channel 4 programme ‘One Born Every Minute’ and become fascinated with how the midwives deliver new born babies into the world? It’s certainly compulsive  viewing and can be extremely emotional both for the new mum and the midwives.

But did you know there’s a lot more to it than just trying to win ratings at a peak time. More and more young women are coming forward and learning the ropes to become the next midwife of the future. But where can they go if they’re locally based to learn a variety of subjects in the area and to become highly proficient at their job?

As part of The  School of Community Health and Midwifery at UCLAN they are hosting a seminar this September. It takes place on Tuesday 17th September between the hours of 9.45am - 2.30pm at room BB312 Brook Building, UCLAN.
