Staff expertise
Our Head of Department, Julie Hadley and Lead Midwife for Education, Lisa Sutton are paramount for ensuring that the midwifery course meets the exacting standards of the NMC.
Lisa and Julie are supported by the course leaders:
- Alison Edwards (0121 331 6072) – 20 month Midwifery course
- Natasha Carr (0121 331 6085) – 3 year Midwifery course
Alongside the ability to teach the speciality appropriate to the respective programmes, members of the team are continuing to undergo personal development which includes master's, doctorate and PhD programmes.
Many team members have also published widely and speak regularly at conferences. Additionally, staff are also proactive in participating in local and national projects, which in turn enhances the relationship the department has with partner trusts and wider parties in the same field.

A wide variety of teaching methods are utilised within the programmes with the inclusion of the virtual case creator and purpose made teaching tools/ videos. Within Midwifery a group of lecturers have also seized the opportunity to integrate social media to support leaning with the development of iBooks.
