Try contacting the Royal College of Midwives, this is a link to their web site.
You can find comprehensive information within this web site about becoming a midwife, and about returning to midwifery practice if you have not practised for a number of years. There is also a continuing professional development programme portfolio for updating your knowledge and practice.

This my suggestion. Ask around your friends and colleague's to find out if they know some one who is a midwife, or maybe you know one yourself.
Try to arrange a meeting with the midwife, and ask questions on how they started out.
A one to one talk with a qualified midwife should give you all the information you require to set you on the right road. Also, if you are lucky enough to make a friend of a midwife, then they will be able to advise and assist during your training.
Hope this helps, and good luck in your search to this very worthy career.

You just need to look into the Midwifery courses at your local unis and apply via UCAS. The great thing is you will get a government bursary to pay your expenses while you study so it's not going to cause you too much financial setback.

Forget about being a midwife. The medical profession needs more specialists in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. The only reason they still have midwives is that OB-GYNs are too expensive. Help the NHS join the 20th century. We'll worry about the 21st later.
