Title	Revitalise and revolutionise: a student-centred curriculum
Authors	Parsons, R. and Killingley, J.
Abstract	Given the unique challenges encountered by midwifery students, it's imperative that the curriculum is tailored to their requirements, rather than constrained by institutional frameworks. During a curriculum review we had the opportunity to revitalize our BSc Midwifery programme. Alongside the 2019 Standards for pre-registration midwifery education1 we put into action a flexible personalised curriculum that suits the needs of modern midwifery students.
