Workwear that supports you through placements and long shifts

Student midwife life is busy — you’re learning constantly, moving between bays, clinics and community settings, and meeting new staff and families every day. Having a reliable warm layer that still looks professional makes placements feel smoother (and helps you feel more “part of the team”).

This category is designed for student midwives who want a tidy, wearable uniform layer with clear embroidery that stays readable during patient care and handovers.

Popular “Student Midwife” personalisation formats

Most students choose a clean left-chest embroidery because it looks smart and is easy to read. Common layouts include:

• Line 1: Name (first name, or first name + initial)
• Line 2: Student Midwife

If your placement area prefers additional wording, you can also add a short third line (kept minimal for neatness), such as Maternity, Birth Centre or Community.

Choosing the right layer for maternity settings

Different days call for different warmth levels — here’s what most student midwives pick depending on routine:

• Fleeces: a warmer, more “uniform” look for cooler wards and early starts.
• Zippies (zip hoodies): practical for quick on/off when moving between warmer bays and cooler corridors.
• Sweatshirts: simple and tidy over scrubs or tunics for everyday comfort.
• Hoodies: popular for travel and long placement days (especially when you want comfort without fuss).

Tip: if you’re unsure, start with one versatile mid-layer for daily wear, then add a warmer option for nights and colder areas.
