absolutely a no go.... I went to an open day at birmigham and they said it as the example of tv shows not to mention in your personal statement. along with call the midwife

You can watch the like of" one baby born every minute" and also Emma Willis - delivering babies " and other related TV programs to give you a insight on what midwifery is about.

I wouldn't recommend you write anything in your personal statement about it.

I know that every university will be different in what they will allow you to write or even say at interview.

Concentrate on writing about why you want to be a midwife, and if any sort of experience you done.


NHS registered midwife.

Thank you so much!!

Hello @N478 [br] [br] I am a third year student midwife and I really wouldn’t mention one born every minute, haha. It’s not really the reality of being a midwife; the only time I’d say you can get away with it a little bit is by recognising that you know one born every minute isn’t an accurate representation of current day midwifery etc.

It's filmed in Liverpool woman's maternity hospital so if it not real then why are they making it then.
Obviously they are not allowed to show certain things due to regulations but it is still real life situations that being shown to give people an insight on how things are with maternity wards.

Thank you I was a bit confused with the previous answer
