This was so helpful, thank you! I've got an interview to study Midwifery today and have been binge watching interview tips and advise. This video is amazing and such a massive help! Thank you soo much xx
This was SO HELPFUL! I’m so anxious about sending off my application tomorrow but this has really made me feel as though I do have a chance at being accepted and offered a place. Thank you!
Love this 😍 I’ve got my first interview in 2 days time and I’m sooo nervous - I also have to do it online via teams and I believe they also use the MMI technique too :) x I’m struggling to get the info from nursing and Midwifery Council/Royal College of midwives/MBRRACE/NICE to sink in x Also keep forgetting the 6Cs too same as you did I remember a couple and then my mind goes blank 🙈
This has been really helpful! I've got my Kingston interview today and I've been watching this for the past few days and it's really boosted my confidence. Thank you so much~
@@elliesjourneytomidwifery6142 Yes it did! My nerves got to me alot and I thought I did really badly but in the end they gave me a conditional offer during the interview! I don't I would have gotten it without your help so thank you xD
@@farahrahmani6855 Yeah sure! I don't go there (I'm at KCL) but things to focus on would be: -Add in the 6Cs whenever you get the chance to add it in. -Also read a bit of the NMC code and know the four main areas and add that in too -Do some practice questions but don't over prepare or it sounds too rehearsed and doesn't show your personality -Try and read the Embrace report and maybe some other research or papers like better births since we cover that a lot and refer to it in papers. -Whether its in person or virtual dress well. -Don’t be scared to ask them to repeat a question either because they can do that for you. -Read over your personal statement since they might ask you something from there, I don't really remember if they did in mine but they may have changed it up -Have some water too! Helps you think better -Just be yourself too and show your personality. They want to make sure that they're choosing the right person for university not just midwifery as a whole so make sure you personality shines and don't be worried about stuttering or repeating yourself! There is a lot there since I tend to waffle on but that's what got me through all of my interviews. Hope this helps!
@@zainabagbolade5688 omg thank you smm!! i will definitely take all of those into consideration. i also want to go KCL, do you have any tips for that university?
You are an absolute star, i love your channel, this was so helpful! Got my first interview on Wednesday so fingers crossed! X Edit: I GOT MY FIRST OFFER!!!!
This was so useful thank you so much for posting this. Like you I am struggling to find information on the internet about interviews, what to expect and how to prepare so this was very informative. Thank you for taking the time to upload this for everyone interested to see and hope your midwifery course is going as well as expected :) take care!
Ah thank you for the lovely comment!😊 I'm happy that it's helped! The course is going really well thank you. Good luck for when you embark on your midwifery journey! xx
I’ve got my first interview tomorrow and i’m so stressed about what they might ask and how to best prepare this video is so useful so i’m hoping my interview goes well 😬
I have got my interview on Thursday and this video has helped me so much and pointed out certain areas I may have not researched if I hadn't watched your video! Thank you so much for your help xxx
I’ve just been offered a conditional offer without having had an interview yet?!! Turns out we do have to have an interview... I’m hoping it’s more informal but the prep is just crazy now!! The pressure is on 😅 Thanks for your help and advice x
Thank you Ellie! I had one on Monday and was offered a place after my interview! Then the next one is tomorrow (the conditional before interview) so I’m really nervous for that one. Thanks so much for your help, honestly! I hope all is going well for you lovely! 😁 xx
@@TheBBBeth Wow that's amazing! Well done! Good luck for your other interview, you'll do just as amazing as you did on your first one😊and aww glad I could help! 😊Xx
@@barbaraassiamah4996 you can have a look on the NMC (nursing and midwifery Council) or the RCM (Royal college of midwives) websites which will have news on midwifery, hope this helps😊
Ellie amazing video! Thank you so much!! I have my Kingston interview this week, and I also have two cats that love to meow on the worst moments.. :) Also, do you have a video on Midwifery in Kingston? Regarding teaching, the course, the teachers... ? Thank you so much xx
Aww I’m glad it was useful! Good luck for your interview - I’m sure you’ll do great! (Fingers crossed your cats don’t interrupt😂😂😂) I don’t have a video about kingston, but you can always message me on my insta some things you’d like to know and I can always answer on there :) xx
Hiya, Kingston gave me the offer during the interview, and UWL gave me the offer about 2 weeks later as it came up on my UCAS track (so definitely keep your eye out on there regularly), so it just depends on the uni😊glad the video has helped you hun! Xx
I haven’t actually been in the room when a baby who was stillborn was delivered, as that happened on the shift previous to mine. However, I did have to look after that baby and her family not long after the birth and take her to the morgue as well. It was the most difficult day on placement, and I did have a few tears, although it was so rewarding to care for a family at such a vulnerable and horrible time in their lives. One of the worst parts about it was that once we discharged them to go home, I was immediately looking after a woman who was in labour and I had to put her on the CTG machine to listen to her baby’s heart rate, which I found deep down so difficult because this baby was alive and I had just been caring for one who was not. So yeah a very difficult situation, but there are still things you can take away from it that will benefit your skills too.
This video was so informative! I am a Midwifery Student in the USA and it is really interesting to see the differences in how schooling is done and all of the different pathways to Midwifery. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences! I think this is such an important topic right now, because so few people know what all goes into this journey. On my channel I am sharing a lot of childbirth education videos, and day in the life type of stuff- as it pertains to my Midwifery studies- if you want to check it out! :)
Aww thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yeah it is important that people know exactly what they're going into, and I thought if there's any way that I can help with that then I will😊I'm so glad that even though you are from the USA you still found it very interesting, thank you for watching! And I will definitely check out your channel😊
Congratulations on getting an interview! I'd say to prep in advance so that you're not panicking trying to do it all at once in the last few days. I'd say spend a few mins a day going over things and then for the rest of the day just relax and take your mind off the interview. That should help keep your nerves down because you'll feel ready on the day, and you shouldn't be worrying about it too much on the build up to the 14th as well. Hope that helps! Good luck! 🥰
hii. im in my first year of college. and i would love if you gave me some advice on my personal statement and where i could do work experience during this tough time. thank youuuu.
Hi Fatima! I completely understand its been so tough to get work experience! If you can try in this next year to get experience in antenatal classes for pregnant women, nurseries, caring roles (maybe care home?), things like that? But don't worry because a lot of unis don't require experience anyway, and they know how difficult it has been with covid for people to get experience so don't panic too much! It's just that it would be great if you did manage to get something. Unfortunately I'm really not the best person for the personal statement advice, as I'm not perfect on them, but there's so much help and guides online if that helps? x
Hi, can I ask something? It is about my mother's contraceptive, she's already 55 yrs old but the iud is still on her body and my youngest sister is already 16, I just want to know if it is dangerous in her age now to take it off,
Hiya, great question! Although we haven't really done anything yet on contraceptives, so I'm not the best person to answer. Maybe have a look online on places like the NHS website, and see what they advise, or she could talk to her GP and see what they'd recommend. Hope this helps! X
Maybe? I'm not too sure though, so the best thing to do is have a look at the universities you'd like to study at requirements (as each uni will have different requirements) and it will tell you there😊if you're still struggling to find it, you could always contact the unis and ask them if it's something they would accept, and say what grade you have/expected to have for it x
It really depends exactly when you will be having your interview. I would say that big news circulating the media at the moment is the March with Midwives campaign and the awareness that is being raised, although it probably is not the most 'uplifiting' topic to discuss in an interview to become a student midwife! I know there was recently a new guideline around inductions of labour for women in England, and there was a lot of stigma around it because they were trying to get more people from Black, Asian, ethnic miniority groups induced, and at 38 or 39 weeks (I cant remember which to be honest!) as well (which in turn may increase chances of interventions in labour) and NICE decided to alter it. If I'm honest I'm not 100% sure if it would class as current 'news' but it is a topic that has been discussed quite a bit, so maybe? Try and see if there is anything on RCM, NMC or RCOG about it, which might go into a bit of detail. Alternatively, there is the impact covid is having on maternity services, pregnant women suffering with covid who are unvaccinated, etc. You could always look on those sites I mentioned and see the current news articles on there to see if anything catches your eye. I only got asked about current news in 1 of my interviews so I did not prepare as much as I should have! But equally try not to worry about it too much. Even just a few sentences about a topic should be enough really. Hope this helps!
I’ve got an interview next week and the uni asked me to research a current topic/article to talk about, I’ve looked around but I’m still really unsure of what to talk about. I can’t find much but I’m probably looking in the wrong places. Any tips?
Maybe have a look at articles on the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) or the Royal College of Midwifes (RCM), as they usually have good evidence-based articles😊
I have my interview Wednesday. I’m a HCA and have worked on the ward, I’m a baby friendly volunteer and I’m at college doing my a-levels. Do you think I have a chance? I’m so nervous.
Hi Mia, the fact that you've been offered an interview already shows that you have a good chance of getting in. With you also being a HCA and a baby friendly volunteer, it means you have an even better chance, I'd say! Just make sure you prep before your interview, be yourself and you should be absolutely fine. Good luck!
You might be able to find this information out at their open days, by emailing the midwifery department at your university, or by looking on the unis website on the midwifery course info where it might tell you :)
Hiya, I didn't know what MMI's I'd have, but I did know some of the basic questions that I'd be asked as the uni sent me an email for an idea on what to prep for. Hope that helps! Xx
I don't think you need to do lots of reading, I didn't do much, but I would imagine the more you look into topics the better it may look. They might not even ask you questions around relevant news etc, but even having an understanding of some recent news in midwifery (even reading 1 or 2 articles from reputable sources like NMC and RCM) would probably be beneficial x
Yeah definitely start preparing now. Make sure you write the key points down so you'll remember them for when you get your interview offer, and need to go over your prep to be ready for your interview. Good luck! 😊
Is your process to get into midwifery the same as it would be in northern ireland? Im hoping to get into it in the future and was wondering if i could talk to you or ask you a few questions about midwifery? Thank youu!!
Hi Jennah, I'm not too sure if the process is different or not, it might be worth looking at the uni's websites and seeing if you meet the entry requirements etc. You're very welcome to ask me some questions still though and I will try and answer them as best as I can! 😊 It might be easier to message me on my Instagram account @ellies_journey_to_midwifery as it's easier to view messages on there x
I'm sure when I was in my interview the lady said that I could take my time to answer, but I thought it would sound better answering quite quickly. You'll find that the questions are very long so while the interviewer is reading them out to you, you'll be thinking of your answer throughout. It's definitely easier than you'd think so try not to worry. Just go with a flow and say what your gut tells you and you should be fine😊x
Ellie's Journey to Midwifery thank you so much 😊 x also are these MMI questions asked in every interview? I don’t know what to expect from my interview at LSBU and Greenwich :( it’s through zoom as well. Im not the most confident person so I’m so nervous I’ll get rejected
@@ai7562 I'm not sure if they will ask you MMIs. My interview with Kingston was very different to my interview at West London uni (mainly because WL didn't do MMIs) so it just depends on the uni to be honest. Kingston have always done MMIs by the sounds of it, so it may be worth looking into Greenwich and LSBU to see if they have any tips on midwifery interviews, as this may give you an indication on what to expect? Kingston did a video a few years ago on tips and what to expect, so I'd imagine other unis must do something similar. You'll be fine though! 🥰x
@@elliesjourneytomidwifery6142 thank you so much 💘💘💘 one more thing sorry , I was going to ask about midwifery tuition fees?? I thought we just have to pay our normal uni fees (£9000). WHATS tuition fees? Is that something extra midwifes have to pay?
@@ai7562 No worries! So you have to pay £9250 tuition fees per year (which you will eventually have to pay back), and then you can also get maintenance loan to help with living costs (which you'll also have to pay back. This is based on household income which will depend on how much you will get borrowed to you). I hope that helps! Just let me know if you have any more questions😊x
This video was sent from heaven I swear, I’ve got an interview soon and this has helped me so much

@@zainabagbolade5688 omg i have mine next week can u give me some tipsss
@@farahrahmani6855 Yeah sure! I don't go there (I'm at KCL) but things to focus on would be:
-Add in the 6Cs whenever you get the chance to add it in.
-Also read a bit of the NMC code and know the four main areas and add that in too
-Do some practice questions but don't over prepare or it sounds too rehearsed and doesn't show your personality
-Try and read the Embrace report and maybe some other research or papers like better births since we cover that a lot and refer to it in papers.
-Whether its in person or virtual dress well.
-Don’t be scared to ask them to repeat a question either because they can do that for you.
-Read over your personal statement since they might ask you something from there, I don't really remember if they did in mine but they may have changed it up

Hi Ellie thanks for an informative video. Have you had to deal with a stillbirth, if yes could you share your experience please
I haven’t actually been in the room when a baby who was stillborn was delivered, as that happened on the shift previous to mine. However, I did have to look after that baby and her family not long after the birth and take her to the morgue as well. It was the most difficult day on placement, and I did have a few tears, although it was so rewarding to care for a family at such a vulnerable and horrible time in their lives.

Alternatively, there is the impact covid is having on maternity services, pregnant women suffering with covid who are unvaccinated, etc. You could always look on those sites I mentioned and see the current news articles on there to see if anything catches your eye. I only got asked about current news in 1 of my interviews so I did not prepare as much as I should have! But equally try not to worry about it too much. Even just a few sentences about a topic should be enough really. Hope this helps!
I’ve got an interview next week and the uni asked me to research a current topic/article to talk about, I’ve looked around but I’m still really unsure of what to talk about. I can’t find much but I’m probably looking in the wrong places. Any tips?
Maybe have a look at articles on the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) or the Royal College of Midwifes (RCM), as they usually have good evidence-based articles😊
@@elliesjourneytomidwifery6142 thank you so much 😊💜 definitely will do that
I have my interview Wednesday. I’m a HCA and have worked on the ward, I’m a baby friendly volunteer and I’m at college doing my a-levels. Do you think I have a chance? I’m so nervous.
Hi Mia, the fact that you've been offered an interview already shows that you have a good chance of getting in. With you also being a HCA and a baby friendly volunteer, it means you have an even better chance, I'd say! Just make sure you prep before your interview, be yourself and you should be absolutely fine. Good luck!
how do i find out what trusts my uni partners with
You might be able to find this information out at their open days, by emailing the midwifery department at your university, or by looking on the unis website on the midwifery course info where it might tell you :)
Please can you least against the 2 questions they ask you before the MMIs?, I have my interview 3days time with Kingston uni😧😧
Hey hun, sorry I don't think I understand what you mean?
Also, don't panic! I'm sure you'll be fine! X
I'm sorry I wrote everything quickly, forgive me, I asked you if you could please list again the first two questions they asked you
my interview is tomorrow
Good luck my interview is next month
did you know what questions you were going to have? thank you for all your help
Hiya, I didn't know what MMI's I'd have, but I did know some of the basic questions that I'd be asked as the uni sent me an email for an idea on what to prep for. Hope that helps! Xx
@@elliesjourneytomidwifery6142 thank you girl x
I have 0 qualifications but my dream is to become a midwife would you be able to help me and tell me where to start
Hi Amy! If you want to message me on my instagram @ellies_journey_to_midwifery, I can try and help you on there :)
Ive got my interview on Tuesday I’m slightly worried about the lack of reading I’ve done. Do you think that will affect things?
I don't think you need to do lots of reading, I didn't do much, but I would imagine the more you look into topics the better it may look. They might not even ask you questions around relevant news etc, but even having an understanding of some recent news in midwifery (even reading 1 or 2 articles from reputable sources like NMC and RCM) would probably be beneficial x
I applied on Friday and I’ve heard some people get offered an interview with only 4 days or less to prepare! So I’m preparing myself now just in case.
Yeah definitely start preparing now. Make sure you write the key points down so you'll remember them for when you get your interview offer, and need to go over your prep to be ready for your interview. Good luck! 😊
So are the trusts where you will doing placements? :)
Yeah the trusts are the hospitals you’ll be working at😊x
@@elliesjourneytomidwifery6142 thankyou! Hope you’re enjoying your midwifery journey💖
Is your process to get into midwifery the same as it would be in northern ireland? Im hoping to get into it in the future and was wondering if i could talk to you or ask you a few questions about midwifery? Thank youu!!
Hi Jennah, I'm not too sure if the process is different or not, it might be worth looking at the uni's websites and seeing if you meet the entry requirements etc.
You're very welcome to ask me some questions still though and I will try and answer them as best as I can! 😊
It might be easier to message me on my Instagram account @ellies_journey_to_midwifery as it's easier to view messages on there x
For the MMIs, can you take some time to think about the questions or do you have to answer quickly?
I'm sure when I was in my interview the lady said that I could take my time to answer, but I thought it would sound better answering quite quickly. You'll find that the questions are very long so while the interviewer is reading them out to you, you'll be thinking of your answer throughout. It's definitely easier than you'd think so try not to worry. Just go with a flow and say what your gut tells you and you should be fine😊x
Ellie's Journey to Midwifery thank you so much 😊 x also are these MMI questions asked in every interview? I don’t know what to expect from my interview at LSBU and Greenwich :( it’s through zoom as well. Im not the most confident person so I’m so nervous I’ll get rejected
@@ai7562 I'm not sure if they will ask you MMIs. My interview with Kingston was very different to my interview at West London uni (mainly because WL didn't do MMIs) so it just depends on the uni to be honest. Kingston have always done MMIs by the sounds of it, so it may be worth looking into Greenwich and LSBU to see if they have any tips on midwifery interviews, as this may give you an indication on what to expect? Kingston did a video a few years ago on tips and what to expect, so I'd imagine other unis must do something similar. You'll be fine though! 🥰x
@@elliesjourneytomidwifery6142 thank you so much 💘💘💘 one more thing sorry , I was going to ask about midwifery tuition fees?? I thought we just have to pay our normal uni fees (£9000). WHATS tuition fees? Is that something extra midwifes have to pay?
@@ai7562 No worries! So you have to pay £9250 tuition fees per year (which you will eventually have to pay back), and then you can also get maintenance loan to help with living costs (which you'll also have to pay back. This is based on household income which will depend on how much you will get borrowed to you). I hope that helps! Just let me know if you have any more questions😊x
You will make a lovely midwife Ellie xx
Aww thank you so much! Xx
