Postgraduate Midwifery Program

For a registered nurse to gain a midwifery qualification they must be enrolled in a recognised postgraduate university course in midwifery and be concurrently employed in a midwifery student position in a maternity service.  

Midwifery education is highly valued, and we are proud to participate in the clinical placement and training of midwifery students at the San. We provide extensive clinical support through maternity educators, clinical specialists and preceptors. 

We average 2,000 births each year in our unit which features a dedicated 9-room birthing unit, antenatal and postnatal ward, special care nursery, lactation consultant service and plenty of education for parents both before and after the birth of their baby. 

Enrolment in the Postgraduate Midwifery Student program is made directly through the San. Applicants must apply separately for their university course.
