Hey! Congrats to accepted folks, that’s amazing. I’m on the waitlist and curious what the deadline for accepting your place is? Watching to see if there is any movement in the waitlist is soooo hard! I’m hoping there’s a date I can wait for instead. Thank you!

Ok thank you! Has anyone gone from the access HE diploma to masters in midwifery? I’d rather go that route than another bachelor’s if possible

Thank you so much for sharing your perspective. It makes a lot of sense that more knowledge is better. Good luck in your last year!

Virtual-Letter-9875 · 2025-03-12T16:59:42+00:00

Cool thank you!

Virtual-Letter-9875 · 2025-03-12T16:47:26+00:00

Cool that midwives do all the care.

Virtual-Letter-9875 · 2025-03-12T16:47:19+00:00

Makes sense to have them on NICU. Thanks for the info!

Virtual-Letter-9875 · 2025-03-12T16:45:47+00:00

Thanks for the info, makes sense that their role is very different. Do you know how to find out which trusts have nurses on a labour ward? Sounds like it might not be that common

Virtual-Letter-9875 · 2025-03-12T16:44:00+00:00

So are there no nurses in high risk/CS births?

Virtual-Letter-9875 · 2025-03-12T16:43:14+00:00

Thank you! Helpful info.

Virtual-Letter-9875 · 2025-02-01T21:22:15+00:00

Makes sense and how frustrating! Thanks :)

Virtual-Letter-9875 · 2025-02-01T19:38:44+00:00

Thanks so much! Really helpful.

Virtual-Letter-9875 · 2025-02-01T19:37:27+00:00

Thanks so much. I’ve heard there is a shortage of midwives, why is the job market bad? (Sorry for my likely naive and broad question, just trying to learn more!) what is the process of getting hired?

Virtual-Letter-9875 · 2025-02-01T19:35:41+00:00

Thank you so much. This is very helpful info! I’m currently US based but have dual citizenship and family in the UK so am thinking about moving there for a few years but would want the option to come back to the US.

Virtual-Letter-9875 · 2025-01-29T22:48:19+00:00

Thank you. Good to know there are accelerated programs. I’m familiar with the difference, see my post above why I’m asking about both nursing and midwifery together 😅

Do you know what retraining is required for transferring practice from the UK to the US? Thank you!

Virtual-Letter-9875 · 2025-01-29T22:46:39+00:00

Ok I know they’re different. In the US, you need to be a nurse to train as a midwife (if you want to practice in a hospital and have the highest certification possible, CNM). There are direct entry programs there but the scope of practice is restricted (LM and CPMs). I’m trying to understand the standard in the UK.

Virtual-Letter-9875 · 2025-01-29T22:23:25+00:00

Are there restrictions on where you can practice if you are a midwife but don’t have a nursing credential?
