About

Born into a family of musical coal miners, Susie’s formative years were spent hanging about at the record department of her local branch of Woolworth’s. Undeterred by life obstacles that included attending a church school, she moved to London where she learned the art of Gothic dancing. At St George’s Hospital in Tooting, she discovered that there is more than one meaning to the word ‘stool’. Susie migrated back to South Wales to study midwifery practice and soon discovered that what Dylan Thomas wrote about Swansea is very true.

SHM248 Additional Care for Women with Complex Needs

This module will prepare students to identify and manage the care of women with additional care needs including management of both pre-existing and emergent conditions.

SHM326 Using research to inform my practice

This module supports student midwives to build on the knowledge gained in their education to date, and explore research knowledge to develop skills in critical appraisal and be able to determine good quality evidence on which to base their practice. In order to provide the broad knowledge base required for practice this module also includes further bioscience and psycho social knowledge.
SHM327 Preparing for Professional Practice

This module will enable the student to explore and analyse healthcare policy making, how policy is implemented in practice and how the implementation may be managed in the clinical setting.
