Midwifery Educator

A Midwifery Educator trains and mentors future midwives, providing both theoretical and practical knowledge in a clinical or academic setting. You might work in a university, hospital, or midwifery school. Midwifery Educators focus on developing students’ skills in antenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum care, ensuring they are equipped to support mothers and babies effectively. You’ll design and deliver educational programmes, assess student performance, and stay updated on best practices in midwifery.

Midwifery Educators play a crucial role in shaping the next generation of midwives. You’ll need to be knowledgeable, approachable, and able to communicate complex concepts clearly. Collaboration with healthcare professionals and students is key to ensuring high standards of midwifery education and practice.
