This reflection relates to the day one of week 1: Maternity Week. Today was a virtual placement for the assessment of the midwifery insight. We were taught what the week will entail. The topics to learn, timetable , group allocation and the group work. The videos to watch, things to study and the eLearning to do on our independent days. From today`s activity I learnt about the role of midwives and the importance of this midwifery insight. Midwife is the first profession a woman contact throughout her pregnancy till birth of the baby and continues with postnatal care. Midwives provide support and care for women to make informed choices of their care. This midwifery insight is also very important because as a student nurse I need to be aware of the role of the midwife since midwives collaborate with other multi-disciplinary team to provide quality of care to the women. We learnt about other activities and topics we will be achieving within the week such as infant feeding, sepsis focus, simulation through forum theatre etc. Today I had chance to acquired knowledge about midwifery and other topics, all that is expected of me by my lectures and the group presentation.

This relate to promoting professionalism and trust. I was in the virtual class on time and participated effectively. I am going to make sure I follow, learn, attend and participate in all the activities for the week as expected of me by my lectures
