Welcome to our Midwifery Skills Workshop, an immersive and hands-on learning experience designed to elevate your clinical competence. Throughout this workshop, you'll engage in skill simulations and real-world scenarios that will challenge and refine your ability to manage critical midwifery tasks. Each session is tailored to provide practical, scenario-based training, allowing you to apply your knowledge in a controlled environment.
To ensure the highest standards of education, a NARM-qualified preceptor(s) will be present on-site to observe, guide, and assess your proficiency in each skill. This workshop is an invaluable opportunity to not only practice essential techniques but also to gain feedback from experienced professionals dedicated to your success as a student midwife. We encourage you to take full advantage of this time to ask questions, seek guidance, and immerse yourself in the learning process.
