About the programme
This admission interview explores whether you understand the responsibilities of a midwife and are ready to learn in maternity settings. The panel wants evidence of respectful communication, concern for the safety of women and babies, emotional maturity and a clear willingness to work under supervision.
How to prepare
- Read about the midwife's role across pregnancy, labour, birth and postnatal care.
- Prepare a clear reason for choosing midwifery and connect it to realistic responsibilities.
- Practise scenarios involving consent, privacy, reassurance and prompt escalation.
- Think of examples showing that you can receive feedback and remain composed under pressure.
- Check the school's official information and the relevant professional body's official guidance for current requirements.
Common mistakes
- Treating midwifery as identical to general nursing without understanding its distinct focus.
- Giving clinical advice beyond your level instead of escalating a concern.
- Forgetting the woman's voice, consent and privacy when discussing care.
