Yes, it is something like what we call หมอตำแย, I guess.

Is it commonly taught in the UK institutions? I don't understand what you meant by 'commonly taught', it is a branch of medical studies and has been taught for centuries in Europe, but only properly recognised for less than 100 years in North America.
United States:
There are two main divisions of modern midwifery in the US: nurse-midwives and direct-entry midwives.
Nurse-midwives were introduced in the United States in 1925 by Mary Breckinridge for use in the Frontier Nursing Service (FNS). Breckinridge chose the nurse-midwifery model used in England and Scotland because she expected these nurse-midwives on horseback to serve the health care needs of the families living in the remote hills of eastern Kentucky. This combination of nurse and midwife was very successful. The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company studied the first seven years of the service and reported a substantially lower maternal and infant mortality rate than for the rest of the country. The report concluded that if this type of care was available to other women in the U.S., thousands of lives would be saved, and suggested nurse-midwife training should be made available in the U.S. Breckinridge founded the Frontier Nursing University in 1939, the first nurse-midwifery education program in the U.S

1840: Several medical schools and colleges added midwifery to the curriculum.
1850: Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons award diplomas in midwifery for the first time. Many obstitricians believed they would never receive rightful status and many were still untrained.
1862: Nightingale Ward, King’s College Hospital opened to train nurses in midwifery.
First Health Visitors were appointed by Manchester and Salford Ladies Health Society. The aim was to popularise sanitary knowledge in the home.
1881: Midwives institute (later became the Royal College of Midwives) was founded and began arguing for increased and better training.
