Students apply their developing understanding of anatomy and physiology to childbearing. Through the use of simulated environments, students develop skills to enable them to work effectively with women. The subject focuses on the physical and emotional changes during pregnancy, labour and birth and the postnatal period, and their potential affects on women's experience of childbearing.
