本次活动汇聚了妇产科和新生儿科专家。

近期,超过50名代表参加了地方妇幼保健系统(LMNS)举办的安全与质量日活动。此次合作活动旨在识别新出现的安全问题,并为LMNS及其急症护理机构制定来年的工作战略和目标。.

Attendees included executive sponsors and senior clinical leaders including, directors of midwifery and senior midwifery management, obstetric consultants, neonatologists, midwives, public health colleagues and the Maternity Voice Partnership.

The key themes identified were-

  • patient information sharing- how to best do this for the population, looking at a range of mediums including differing social media platforms, languages etc.
  • how to tackle inequity in outcomes for mothers from black and minority ethnic communities including through addressing racism and cultural competence
  • clinical escalation- how to ensure this happens effectively and the utilisation of tools to support this
  • triage services- working towards a standardised approach across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire maternity services to reduce unwarranted variation to the pregnant population

Rosi Shepherd, Chief Nursing Officer at the NHS Integrated Care Board for Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire, said:

“We are passionate about the quality and safety of our maternity and neonatal services, so events like this are important for us to discuss the latest research, new ideas and different ways of working. Not only was there the chance to listen to presentations from key speakers, it was a positive networking event with the opportunity to chat with colleagues face to face which is a rarity in our current climate.”
