Hull Students: Explore Midwifery Careers!
17 May
Summary
- Year 12 students can explore midwifery using simulators.
- Second event organized due to high demand in August.
- Training includes simulated labor, C-sections, and postnatal care.
Hull Royal Infirmary is inviting Year 12 students to an event offering a firsthand look into the midwifery profession. This initiative aims to inspire the next generation of healthcare professionals. The session on August 12 will provide hands-on experience using advanced medical simulators.
Students will engage in realistic training exercises, including simulated labor and delivery, a caesarean section within a theatre setting, and postnatal care on a ward. This experience will cover crucial aspects like breastfeeding and recovery. The event is a response to the significant demand for similar opportunities, with a prior session being oversubscribed.
Helen Smith, lead midwife, emphasized the rewarding nature of the career and the desire to offer more students this valuable insight. Details about the August 12 event and application procedures will be shared with career staff at local schools and colleges. This comes as a recent survey indicated challenges for newly qualified midwives in securing employment.
