online certified sensitive midwife course
There is vast evidence to support the need for more midwife specialists in South Africa and the world. Sensitive Midwifery Academy is proud to offer its Certified Sensitive Midwife Course to help fill this need.
reasons to do the online certified sensitive midwife course
- Current and future nurse-midwife training doesn’t yield midwives experienced or knowledgeable enough to be confident practitioners in any sphere of midwifery’s scope of practice, including antenatal, labour and birth, postnatal, and Mom and Baby care in the first six months
- Advanced midwifery does not suitably address the expert but ‘basic’ midwifery skills that make for the safest, most satisfying experience of labour and birth for women
- There is no qualification that recognises and teaches the profound value or the positive outcomes of being an authentic midwifery specialist
extent of the online certified sensitive midwife course
- Spans midwifery care in pregnancy, labour, birth, postnatally, and up to six months after birth
- Revisits basics of midwifery but concentrates on evidence-based, physiological, ‘natural’ midwifery care throughout
- Explains the difference between clear midwifery scope of practice and ‘grey’ areas where referral to an obstetrician or interventive unit might or might not become necessary, ensuring proficiency of students to differentiate and cope with each scenario
- Refreshes students’ knowledge of and expertise in dealing with a wide range of complicated pregnancy, birth, and postnatal scenarios
