The role of a Midwife in the UK is to provide skilled, knowledgeable, respectful, and compassionate care for all women, newborn infants and their families. As such, Midwives are accountable as the lead professional and have a unique relationship with all those they care for and support.

The focus of the Midwifery CBT course is to ensure these key values and expectations are reinforced and applied to every scenario within a midwife's scope of practice. This includes assisting with normal birth, providing breastfeeding advice, detecting complications in mother and child, accessing medical care or other appropriate assistance where needed, taking emergency measures when necessary and promoting health and well-being.
