I have learned from this placement that effective communication and documentation are essential components of safe and effective healthcare for a midwife and listening is vital, as there may be a combination of issues that require further …show more content…
My interest and enjoyment of Maths will assist me in calculating the doses of drugs in the midwifery field. By always meeting the deadlines of my BTEC assignments, this demonstrates my commitment to learn. The independent study skills that I learnt doing coursework has prepared me for a higher level of education. Achieving Distinctions in most of the units shows my enthusiasm to manage the challenges of studying midwifery I understand that midwives work with other members of the multidisciplinary team, such as obstetricians, health visitors and maternity care assistants. Whilst doing experiments in chemistry units, I have gained practical skills and enhanced my team player skills by working in groups. My four days health sciences summer taster course at university gave me a deep insight into the midwifery course by talking to student midwives and lecturers. While visiting the simulation centre at the university, I enjoyed the chance to carry out some clinical observations, such as checking foetal
