Aims
To enable the student to establish a strong foundation in advanced pathological principles that underpin the assessment and management of acutely unwell women throughout pregnancy and the postnatal period.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Critically analyse the advanced physiological and pathological mechanisms that result in body system failure in acutely unwell women including status asthmaticus, sepsis , pancreatitis, cholestasis, HELLP, puerperal psychosis, diabetic ketoacidosis, and maternal collapse.
2.
Critically analyse and synthesise the history, physical examination and relevant diagnostic tests, procedures and pharmacotherapeutics in order to assess, diagnose and manage the advanced care of acutely unwell women throughout pregnancy and postnatal.
3.
Synthesise safeguarding and child protection principles with advanced management of women and neonates in acute and ambulatory settings.
4.
Critically evaluate the research evidence base regarding the assessment, diagnosis and advanced management of acutely unwell women throughout pregnancy and the postnatal period.
5.
Critically reflect on own personal and professional development and progression toward the role of advanced clinical practitioner.

Additional Information:
The clinical experience for this module consists of 190 hours of mentored advanced midwifery practice to include 25 hours in a related sub-specialty. This will be in an appropriate setting with a relevant registered health care professional. The assessment of clinical practice will be evidenced by successful achievement of the programme capabilities and must include completion of any 6 of the following: Directly Observed Procedural Skills (DOPS), Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise (mini-CEX), Case-based Discussions (CBD) and Communication Observation Tools (COT). Assessment is the responsibility of the named clinical preceptor; unless competence is demonstrated in practice credit will not be released. Ongoing formative feedback will be provided to students by the module team on the basis of two clinical consultation write-ups submitted by the student.
