Series 13 - Episode 10: Supporting mother and baby when a problem with an upper limb is identified

Examining the newborn requires extensive skills and knowledge of anatomy and physiology, of communicating findings to the mother and family of when all appears normal, and what to say and do when a deviation from the normal is noticed.

In this session we focus on the examination of the upper limbs, with senior midwifery lecturer Natasha Carr, and Ruth Lester highlights the importance of support and ongoing information to the mother and the family in caring for a child with an upper limb issue, and ensuring that they achieve their full potential.
