can i still train for midwifery once bankrupt

I going down the route of bankruptcy, got my forms to fill out and take so still in the early stages but I was wondering if I would still be able to work for the NHS. I want to train to be a midwife in a few years, is this one of the jobs that would be a no go?

    I changed jobs while bankrupt, and started work for the NHS (patient facing). I had to have the full Criminal Records Bureau checks*, but not one check (nor one question) relating to my bankruptcy.

    I was still terrified (from the moment of sending in the application until I'd been there for a couple of months) that someone would call me or tap me on the shoulder and say, "Sorry, we can't take you on/let you stay". Of course, it never happened, and I'm as happy as a pig in the proverbial in my new job.

    Good luck with your studies :)

    *Before anyone misunderstands my point, I'm not suggesting that bankruptcy is one of the checks the CRB do, just trying to get the point across that with all the 'suitability/liability' checks involved with working in a job dealing with children and vunerable adults, having a poor credit rating isn't one of them ;)

    Why press spam? Are you refering to the above link? Its doesn't appear to be working at the moment (seems like their entire site is temporarily down) but its not a spam link or marketing/advertising, its the Nursing and Midwifery Council, which is the statutory regulatory body for nursing and midwifery.

    WLITC I believe there was a spam post on this thread that has since been deleted.

    The post Tigerfeet was asking to be spammed was removed. It was some obscure advert for cabbage soup diet and was posted directly after Iquit's post.
