Rotations are organised in Birthing, Post and Antenatal clinical areas with the focus being on consolidation of the essential art of Midwifery care.

Double Degree graduates wishing to consolidate Nursing skills have an additional rotation to either Newborn Services or a Medical or Surgical area.

Supernumary time in each area, support from dedicated education staff, preceptors and mentors means our graduates always have someone they can seek out for assistance.

Regular and paid education time furthers knowledge and skill.
