Abstract

Research around neurodivergent midwifery students is sparse despite the rising number of neurodivergent healthcare professionals. Despite there being an increase in neurodiversity understanding within universities to support educational adjustments, students' experiences within practical placements are an underexplored area of health programmes, especially midwifery. This chapter aims to shine a light on some of the challenges and facilitators for neurodivergent students completing a professional healthcare course, which could essentially be transferable to other professional courses too, such as Nursing, Paramedic Science, Radiography, and Mental Health Nursing programmes.
