The Maternity & Midwifery Hour episodes

October 30, 2020 6. Educating Tomorrow's Midwives - Teaching Team at UCLAN
Midwifery education has changed so much over the last ten years.
Students need to be equipped with the tools and strategies to learn and develop through their initial programme and throughout their career.
New ways of learning and teaching are being implemented - from self directed learning, to guided study, through to flipped classrooms and scenario based learning. All approaches used to enhance student learning and understanding, and ‘make it real’.
Hear from members of the teaching team at UCLAN about how they are meeting these challenges for their students.

October 23, 2020 5. Continuity of Care in COVID-19 - Mel Radford & Dr Anna Byrom
Continuity of Care (CoC) has been shown consistently as being a key part in providing quality care and increasing the physical and emotional safety of the childbearing woman and her baby. Recent maternity service strategies and developments have made this a priority and, even with the impact of COVID-19, midwives and those engaged in maternity services are working to set up strong and sustainable systems to ensure that CoC is provided. These systems are designed to impact on quality of care and to work with the midwives’ working needs also.
Increasingly, continuity models are being used within midwifery education programmes, so that students can learn the theory and practice of continuity for themselves as practitioners, and for women and their babies.

October 16, 2020 4. Loss & Bereavement: An Empty Cot - Clare Beesley (Bereavement Midwife) and Kirsty Knight (4Louis)
The loss of a baby, whatever the gestation, is a devastating event for mothers and their families. It is crucial that care and support is tailored to the needs of the woman or birthing person and their family, culturally sensitive and aware.
Timed to mark Baby Loss Week, this session will explore the key aspects of what midwives can do in terms of assessing the needs of the woman, and planning compassionate, dynamic care.
We welcome Kirsty, bereaved mother and co-founder of 4Louis who is joining us to share her experience, and talk about the work that her wonderful charity does to provide support and resources for parents after miscarriage, stillbirth and child loss, and improve information for those who care for parents.

Contributors:
Clare Beesley, Bereavement Midwife, Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust Bereavement Team
Kirsty Knight, Co-founder and bereaved mum, 4Louis

Dr Sheena Byrom OBE, Consultant Midwife and Director, All4Maternity
Women and birthing people deserve the opportunity to choose where and how to give birth to their babies. It matters. Since COVID-19 we have witnessed restrictions placed on women’s choices through the withdrawal of home birth services, closure of midwifery units and banning the use of water for labour and birth.
Sheena and Lucia will present the evidence and debate why human rights and choice are integral to high quality maternity care and midwives are central to keeping this focus.
