We have the privilege of organising our own elective placement at the start of our third year. We have chosen to go to Nepal to gain an insight into how midwifery care is practised and accessed.

29 sleeps till we leave!


Excited.....are you kiding, we are not actually sure if we are going to get any sleep between then and now. We are doing our fundraiser jump this coming Saturday, and of course you can still donate to our paypal account or by getting in touch. So far we have managed to raise enough to give £200 to the maternity hospital and have been able to purchase extras for the birth centre. Weather permitting we jump Saturday and we are camping there the night before. There will be 16 very nervous and excited jumpers in our group, so watch out March!!!

We have also both completed our 2nd year of our degree....officially 3rd year student midwives....well as long as we pass our exams and reflection that is lol! There are others in our year going to Ghana, Tanzania, Uganda, Texas, Miami, British Columbia, Netherlands and going to places in England such as private birth centres, independent midwives, child protection services, working with Obstetricians, and some catching a few more babies without having to fight for it at their own trusts.

We have already started to pack our suitcases and are getting the last minute supplies. Will fill you in more before we go!! And of course tell you how brave we were when we jumped! (insert knocking knees sound here)
