as a qualified midwife unless this is completed. - EC Midwifery Directive (89.594/EC)
- NMC Midwives Rules and standards (2004) state
that midwives and students should not knowingly
expose themselves to infection. - Therefore re allocation to another area is
required if there is evidence of C. Diff or
diarrhoea/ vomiting. - Allocations contact 306 7700.
30
Registrant Awareness Study Day, October 2008.
31Student Midwife Learning
- Student midwives undertake medical ward and spoke
placements in Year two. Prior to this they have
been placed entirely in the maternity services. - Their allocation is to gain exposure to medical
conditions rather than to learn nursing. - Placements to a ward must include spoke
placements to clinics or other departments to
enhance learning about the management of medical
conditions. - Students are encouraged to organise these in
consultation and with advice from ward staff e.g.
outpatient clinics, anti- coagulation clinics,
X-ray , Ultrasound, diabetes etc.

their learning.
