Midwifing is a very unique job in healthcare.

It's a job that gives you very much satisfaction every day you are working as you are definitely making someone happy with delivering there New born child into the world 🌍 and seeing the faces of the new parents.

It's a very very highly competitive degree due to the limited numbers that universities offer throughout the whole of the UK, the numbers that universities offers are based on what the local health board needs in relation of newly qualified midwifes every 3 years.

I would strongly recommend potential students to look into becoming a midwife and you shouldn't never give up your dreams of becoming a midwife if you are unfortunately unsuccessful but keep on trying,


Definitely get as much advice as possible on midwifing and attend any open days at universities if it's possible.

Good luck to everyone who's are awaiting offers and those who have already been offered a place at university.
