Building on the foundational knowledge and skills developed in the preceding unit, students undertaking this subject will demonstrate increased independence and proficiency in applying theoretical and practical competencies within Maternal and Child Health (MCH) community settings. Students will conduct individual consultations, home visits, and group sessions with growing confidence, consolidating and refining clinical skills in physical assessment for children aged birth to six years. They will perform psychosocial screenings with new mothers, facilitate community linkages, and apply advanced understanding of the MCH Key Ages and Stages framework to support child development and family wellbeing. Students will continue to engage in collaborative partnerships with families, while deepening their application of relevant legislation, professional guidelines, and ethical considerations in MCH practice. This unit includes a further 150 hours of supervised, supernumerary clinical placement within Local Council MCH services and affiliated specialty services.
