MIDWIFERY UNIVERSITY INTERVIEW TIPS! - How to do a successful interview for midwifery!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video I discuss midwifery interview questions and tips, how to prepare for an interview, MMI interview questions, examples of different types of midwifery interview questions, and how to have a successful interview.
Kingston University (London) is my firm university choice, and this video does heavily focus on the interview that I had with them. I also talk about the interview I had with the University of West London. Those two universities had a completely different interview style, so I think it would be very beneficial for you guys to see that difference, as you can prepare for different types of interviews.
I did my interview on a video call during the coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown! So it made the interview process even more nerve-wrecking, but it still went so well!
Remember to still use some of your own research during the interviews so you have an even wider range of answers and understanding of the question that is being asked.
I hope you all really enjoy this video! If you have any questions about midwifery interview questions, anything in general, or have any ideas for future videos, then please leave them in the comment section below! Thank you so much for your support!

    @@farahrahmani6855 Yeah sure! I don't go there (I'm at KCL) but things to focus on would be: -Add in the 6Cs whenever you get the chance to add it in. -Also read a bit of the NMC code and know the four main areas and add that in too -Do some practice questions but don't over prepare or it sounds too rehearsed and doesn't show your personality -Try and read the Embrace report and maybe some other research or papers like better births since we cover that a lot and refer to it in papers. -Whether its in person or virtual dress well. -Don’t be scared to ask them to repeat a question either because they can do that for you. -Read over your personal statement since they might ask you something from there, I don't really remember if they did in mine but they may have changed it up -Have some water too! Helps you think better -Just be yourself too and show your personality. They want to make sure that they're choosing the right person for university not just midwifery as a whole so make sure you personality shines and don't be worried about stuttering or repeating yourself! There is a lot there since I tend to waffle on but that's what got me through all of my interviews. Hope this helps!

    I haven’t actually been in the room when a baby who was stillborn was delivered, as that happened on the shift previous to mine. However, I did have to look after that baby and her family not long after the birth and take her to the morgue as well. It was the most difficult day on placement, and I did have a few tears, although it was so rewarding to care for a family at such a vulnerable and horrible time in their lives. One of the worst parts about it was that once we discharged them to go home, I was immediately looking after a woman who was in labour and I had to put her on the CTG machine to listen to her baby’s heart rate, which I found deep down so difficult because this baby was alive and I had just been caring for one who was not. So yeah a very difficult situation, but there are still things you can take away from it that will benefit your skills too.

    I don't think you need to do lots of reading, I didn't do much, but I would imagine the more you look into topics the better it may look. They might not even ask you questions around relevant news etc, but even having an understanding of some recent news in midwifery (even reading 1 or 2 articles from reputable sources like NMC and RCM) would probably be beneficial x

    Hi Fatima! I completely understand its been so tough to get work experience! If you can try in this next year to get experience in antenatal classes for pregnant women, nurseries, caring roles (maybe care home?), things like that? But don't worry because a lot of unis don't require experience anyway, and they know how difficult it has been with covid for people to get experience so don't panic too much! It's just that it would be great if you did manage to get something. Unfortunately I'm really not the best person for the personal statement advice, as I'm not perfect on them, but there's so much help and guides online if that helps? x

    It really depends exactly when you will be having your interview. I would say that big news circulating the media at the moment is the March with Midwives campaign and the awareness that is being raised, although it probably is not the most 'uplifiting' topic to discuss in an interview to become a student midwife! I know there was recently a new guideline around inductions of labour for women in England, and there was a lot of stigma around it because they were trying to get more people from Black, Asian, ethnic miniority groups induced, and at 38 or 39 weeks (I cant remember which to be honest!) as well (which in turn may increase chances of interventions in labour) and NICE decided to alter it. If I'm honest I'm not 100% sure if it would class as current 'news' but it is a topic that has been discussed quite a bit, so maybe? Try and see if there is anything on RCM, NMC or RCOG about it, which might go into a bit of detail. Alternatively, there is the impact covid is having on maternity services, pregnant women suffering with covid who are unvaccinated, etc. You could always look on those sites I mentioned and see the current news articles on there to see if anything catches your eye. I only got asked about current news in 1 of my interviews so I did not prepare as much as I should have! But equally try not to worry about it too much. Even just a few sentences about a topic should be enough really. Hope this helps!

    Congratulations on getting an interview! I'd say to prep in advance so that you're not panicking trying to do it all at once in the last few days. I'd say spend a few mins a day going over things and then for the rest of the day just relax and take your mind off the interview. That should help keep your nerves down because you'll feel ready on the day, and you shouldn't be worrying about it too much on the build up to the 14th as well. Hope that helps! Good luck! 🥰

My interview with Kingston was very different to my interview at West London uni (mainly because WL didn't do MMIs) so it just depends on the uni to be honest. Kingston have always done MMIs by the sounds of it, so it may be worth looking into Greenwich and LSBU to see if they have any tips on midwifery interviews, as this may give you an indication on what to expect? Kingston did a video a few years ago on tips and what to expect, so I'd imagine other unis must do something similar. You'll be fine though! 🥰x
