An essential handbook to help midwifery students master the key learning skills they need to become successful learners throughout their degree and beyond.
This essential handbook helps midwifery students to make the most from their time studying. It clearly explains the core learning skills you will need right from the start of the course, such as academic writing, placement learning and understanding theoretical concepts.
