On this page you can access the live stream, links and resources for our 10th June 2020 Maternity & Midwifery Hour live stream.
This Maternity & Midwifery Hour – to mark Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Awareness month – speakers will discuss the key principals of bereavement care and is hosted as usual by Sue Macdonald, Co-editor, Mayes Midwifery.
Joining us for this episode are:
Marc Harder, UK Programme Manager, National Bereavement Care Pathway , SANDS Charity
Clare Worgan, Training and Learning Resources Manager, SANDS Charity
High quality care when a baby dies is essential for the wellbeing of families. With effective tools, knowledge and support midwives can be empowered to address their own emotions and provide the best possible care when the worst happens.
Clare will focus on how best to support bereaved parents and families in clinical practice. She will share insights from bereaved parents and discuss themes such as sensitive communication, grief and support resources for midwives.
Marc will talk about the roll out of the National Bereavement Care Pathway (NBCP), a programme of improvement and include an update on recent successes. The 9 Standards of Bereavement Care will also be covered in Marc’s discussion along with details of how your trust can join the NBCP.
The video will be available to watch right here on Wednesday 10th June from 7:00 – 8:00pm.
