Holistic Care of the Complex Woman B (11949.1)

Using a holistic woman-centred approach, this unit will draw on midwifery, medical, pharmacological and other theory and research to develop students' midwifery knowledge and skills to assist women who are experiencing complexity across the childbearing continuum.

Midwifery understanding gained in this unit will be applied to the corresponding practical unit.
