How can I train to be a midwife?

To train to be a midwife you will need to take an approved course in midwifery. If you are already a qualified nurse you can complete a short midwifery programme, but not all Universities offer the short course. Both the midwifery degree and midwifery short programme leads to registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) which will allow you to practice as a midwife.
