I don't know exactly the differences but in Greece midwifery is a separated uni you don't have to finish nursery first you just go into midwifery and also midwives in Greece are not separated from doctors. In a labor there are always both doctors and midwives
Don't apologize about being passionate! We need passionate people! Great video. I'm an aspiring midwife and love hearing about your stories. Keep dreaming! God bless
I am in the US and yes sis, Black infant mortality and maternal morbidity are ridiculous! I had no idea it was bad like that in the UK! Its research now saying that having more Black midwives will actually reverse and reduce the horrific statistics that we are seeing nowadays with infant mortality. and OMG I cant believe midwives are falling into the traps of technocratic perspectives! Im trying to run away from that as a perspective student doctor so its sad to hear that it happens even in midwifery ):
Yeah, it’s bad here as well. Racism is alive and well here, even if people try to say that it isn’t. And it is very technocratic. I think it’s mostly because of the age we live in but also because women do not believe in their own bodies. It’s crazy... Well it’s good to see a future doctore not relying on technology
I LOVE your channel! I'm British, but live in Canada and will be attending the uni of Manchester in autumn, may I ask if ALL midwifery in the England is within a hospital setting? There are no rural midwives, or private midwifery practices? Thank you SO much for all of your help, so far!!
Hey, I took out a student loan. I'm not sure if they still do it but Student Finance England used to say if you take out a loan for an Access course and you then complete a degree in nursing or midwifery you Access loan will be wiped clean x
Why don't more Midwives work in birthing centers to promote normality as it seems most Midwives especially upon qualifying prefer working on the wards which is more medicalised?
As far as I'm aware, there aren't a lot of 'birthing centers' in the UK available. And if there are, as stated below, you would have to have the experience beforehand with working on wards/specialised care before being trusted to work in these birthing centers. While in university, placements are on wards for those 3 years that you are training and 99% of the time, you are offered a job at the end of placement so sometimes it isn't always an option to go to birthing centers. Also, after doing a little research, 'birthing centers' are mainly in hospitals themselves. It isn't something I have heard of before.
Oh, I love this question and it is now going to be my next Big Topic Talks video. I think it can be because they are only used to working on wards as that's all they were exposed to and change for most people can be scary and also the fact that the majority of pregnant women feel safer in a hospital

@@riaali7284 That's the same here really. The only difference is that there is not always a doctor at a birth

Hi, I hope everything is going well. As you probably know by now that there are community settings as well
How did you pay for the access course - I’m slowly saving but It’ll take ages 😭 hoping to do it this year or next x
