Reviewing and Revising via YouTube? Visual revision tips

I love taking notes. I'm a little bit obsessed with new stationary at the beginning of each term, I re-write my lecture notes, create little revision cards and draw out parts of the anatomy I need to revise.

But sometimes constantly staring at a screen of lecture notes, or my notepad of screeds of writing doesn't quite get the message across.
Especially when it come to practical skills, or physiological acts of the human body.
This is when I use visual learning aids such as youtube videos, infographics and even podcasts.

Here's a few that may help you when revising topics...

Armando Hasudungan 
On YouTube Armando uses drawing to explain a variety of Obstetric physiology.

His group of videos is HERE, they include ectopic pregnancy, gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia.

He also has videos on Embryology and Reproductive Systems


Khan Academy Medicine
Khan academy medicine on YouTube is also similar to the Armando Hasudungan videos. These videos use drawing and illustration to explain functions of the body during pregnancy and other pregnancy and birth related physiology.
All the videos based on Pregnancy are HERE. These videos also include information on preterm birth, PPH, blood disorders in pregnancy, UTI's and c-sections.


How to deliver a baby
The University of South Wales have a selection of good YouTube videos on delivering a baby. I often rewatch this before attending a labour ward placement.
Video 1
Video 2
Video 3


Anatomy Zone
Another useful YouTube channel is the Anatomy Zone.
They have a very useful set of videos on the Pelvic Floor muscles - here and here.


For all things applying to midwifery another good YouTube site to follow is Ellie Durants 'Midwife Diaries' - link is HERE.
