In Angus we are passionate about the midwifery profession, and keen to ensure that midwives of the future share that passion. In addition to an annual student study day at Montrose Maternity Unit, Angus midwives regularly welcome midwifery students on placement where they get the chance to experience holistic, woman-centred practice. The midwives also enjoy discussing the latest research around birth and midwifery with students.
Whether or not you have a placement in Angus, we hope these activities for students put together by the Montrose midwives will be thought-provoking and useful.
We also hope you will enjoy this reflective piece written by a student midwife called Theresa about the impact her elective placement at Montrose has had on her views about free-standing midwife-led units.
