● Holistic Approach: Our midwife training emphasises a holistic approach to maternal care. We equip midwives with the knowledge and skills needed to provide personalised support to individuals with disabilities during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.
● Inclusivity: Inclusivity is at the core of our midwife training. We teach midwives to create an inclusive environment where expectant parents with disabilities feel welcomed and empowered to make informed decisions about their care.
● Adaptive Practices: Our training includes adaptive practices, ensuring midwives can cater to the unique requirements of each individual. This includes addressing physical accessibility, communication, and emotional support.
