    Hi all
    I found this link on the RCM website and thought it might be useful for prospective student midwives/student midwives and registered midwives.

    Maths for the NHS
    Free website aimed to help midwives see and overcome difficulties in numeracy .

    The link works but it's unfortunately not a website which gives you the maths help online, you have to go to the shop and purchase the booklet advertised. I added it because RCM recommend it on their website but I will add some other links which take you to other websites which you can access for maths help. I know I used a few when I was applying to uni and needed to revise for my numeracy tests!!

    I used this a fair bit whilst doing my access course http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/maths/

    This site helps you test your numeracy (and literacy skills) http://www.move-on.org.uk/

    This is a link to a uni website but if you scroll down there is a link you can use for help with drugs calculations http://skills.library.leeds.ac.uk/topic_improving_your_maths.php

    Link to sample of literacy/numeracy tests for nursing and midwifery applicants http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/hsc/courses/interviews.shtml#tests

    Hope some of these are of help!
