This essential handbook helps midwifery students to make the most from their time studying. It clearly explains the core learning skills you will need right from the start of the course, such as academic writing, placement learning and understanding theoretical concepts. It also introduces more advanced skills, such as reflection, research, evidence-based practice, writing a dissertation and complex decision making. It shows why these important skills are essential for you both to succeed at university and when you are a registered midwife.

This very helpful book provides an excellent resource for the undergraduate student. It makes meaningful links between the study aspects of working towards graduate status and the professional requuirements for midwifery practice beyond registration. Activities related to the focus of each chapter and realistic case studies will facilitate engagement with the content. Each chapter is complimented by recommendations for further reading to support ongoing development.
I would recommend this book to aspiring student midwives, student midwives and non-graduate midwives working towards achieving graduate status.
this book provides an over view for students entering the profession and studies related to midwifery practice. all chapters are relevant for contemporary evidence based practice. a great resource. thanks

A truly great book for popel wishing to tudy midwifery. I used his book with a lady thinking of studying midwifery. this book gacve her a great overview of subject areas she would need to look at and what would be involved that could not be found in teh course material prived by unversity in advacne..
This text contains so much information that will help students to develop and progress through the course.
Advised for precourse reading and essential reading on commencing course
An excellent companion for the journey from novice to expert. I have asked students to purchase.
Excellent text. The students found this to be a useful and insightful text. They found it easy to use and follow and relevant to giving clarity to their professional route
This is a well presented text that will be a valuable resource for any student midwife. It is a clear guide to the work expected and I feel that it would be a very useful text for students immediately prior to commencing a midwifery degree. It will enable them to have a better understanding of the academic and clinical work that will be needed to become a professional midwife. I also feel that it will support them as they navigate the path of academia to become qualified midwives. It is easy to read and is relevant to todays students.
The title does not truly reflect the contents of this as hidden inside are a range of gems of advice to suit the evolving midwifery student as they make the step by step transition through the midwifery programme.The case studies and activities engage the reader while allowing further exploration of topics. I will be recommending this to my personal tutees as a companion guide .
A thought provoking and interactive book.
