Post Graduate Student Midwifery Program 

Post Graduate Midwives will be supported across all areas in the maternity service. The Post Graduate Midwife will continue to work within their scope of practice as a registered nurse / student midwife in antenatal, post-natal and special care nursery under direct and indirect supervision of midwives and the education team. As your studies and clinical acumen progress, you will assume increasing responsibilities. The clinical programme and current options will be discussed at interview and will reflect clinical requirements as per the university.

 

In 2019 we will be offering a semi paid model. We offer 0.4EFT in a paid capacity and 0.4EFT supernumerary.

 

 Maternity and Women’s Health

The 28 bed unit accommodates women who present with antenatal complication and following birth. As a secondary care unit NH supports women with both normal and complex antenatal and post-natal presentations from a culturally diverse community.

The student post graduate midwife will be supported to work in partnership with women and their families to provide education and counselling in preparation for parenthood. The PG student midwife will appreciate the centrality of the relationship with women to the practice of midwifery. NH Midwives respect the diverse values and beliefs of the community we serve.

 

Birth Suite

NH supports more than 3500 births per year.

Our purpose built units are designed with the best interests of the mother and baby in mind. The Northern Hospital houses nine birthing suites; all equipped with modern facilities, technological support and includes a dedicated koori birthing room.

Maternity Unit staffs strive to deliver an individual and private experience for every birth, as every birth is different.

 

Special Care Nursery

The Special Care Nursery at The Northern Hospital is currently a 20 cot level 5 unit with approximately 600 neonatal admissions per year. In response to maternity demand, expansion to 23 cots is planned.

Infants 32 weeks gestation and greater are admitted to the nursery from maternity, birthing suites and theatre. Neonates are also transferred in from other hospitals in Victoria to either have more intensive care or to move closer to home after being born at one of the tertiary intensive care centres.

Our vision is to provide a high level of medical and nursing care using a family-centred model of care to work with families to overcome the health issues of their baby, reuniting them with their parents, and making transition from hospital to home easier.

 

 Antenatal Clinics

Northern Health provides obstetric care to women residing within the outer northern suburbs of Melbourne. Antenatal Clinics are provided at The Northern Hospital, Broadmeadows Health Service and Craigieburn Health Service.

 Models of Antenatal care include:

  • Obstetric/Medical model, (High Risk) where antenatal care is provided by an obstetrician (most suitable for women requiring medical supervision during pregnancy).
  • Collaborative Model (medium Risk) obstetrician and midwives share responsibility of care.
  • Shared Maternity Care model where antenatal care is shared between the hospital and an accredited general practitioner (most suitable if pregnancy is uncomplicated).
  • Midwife Care model, (low risk) where antenatal care is provided by hospital midwives in consultation with Medical staff (most suitable if pregnancy is uncomplicated).
