Midwifery Widening Participation bursary

In the School of Nursing and Midwifery

The School of Nursing and Midwifery with funding from (National Health Service England) is delighted to offer a significant bursary for midwifery students from a range of our Pre-registration courses to support future midwives financially. This bursary is an opportunity to promote the entrance of students from a wide range of backgrounds into the midwifery profession.
As a society we all benefit from having professionals working within healthcare specialities that reflect the diversity of our society. Widening that lived experience helps to enhance and knowledge and profession insight needed to become a rounded healthcare professional.

The Â鶹´«Ã½ is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion within the body of students. We have an exciting opportunity to be able to offer a bursary that will widen participation for midwifery students from diverse backgrounds.
