About this Unit
This unit version replaces version 2 from 2010. This unit provides students with an in depth knowledge of the complications that may arise during labour, birth and the newborn period. Emphasis will be placed on the biological and physiological aspects of such complications. The unit also integrates psychological and cultural aspects relating to a woman experiencing a complex labour and birth. The role of the midwife in providing holistic woman centred care is an important component of the unit, as any complications that arise will have an impact on the management of labour, birth and the newborn period.
