The midwife must have a detailed understanding of medicines administration along with the ability to demonstrate knowledge of pharmacology and the ability to recognise the effects of medicines. The midwife is required to apply knowledge of pharmacology to the care of women and their babies and may later be required to, demonstrate the ability to progress to a prescribing qualification following registration"-- Provided by publisher.
