Course Description

This course aims to prepare graduates with research training to make a contribution to scholarship and evidence-based midwifery practice by the completion of a research project

The course offers an opportunity for midwives to develop systematic programs of relevant research into midwifery practice and outcomes, which will not only support the development of the individual participants, but will also enhance the knowledge base of the midwifery profession and thereby contribute to quality outcomes for child-bearing women and their families. The development of research skills and knowledge will assist midwives to provide leadership at local, national and international levels, and demonstrate accountability to society for both the provision and validity of care.
