Maternity

Learning from the significant avoidable harm that can occur during the antenatal and postnatal care of mothers and their babies is essential and using the information gleaned from cases notified to our Early Notification Scheme we have created an eLearning module for maternity.

Hosted on Learning Hub, this free resource is specifically designed to support clinicians working in maternity services. Use three illustrative case stories, the learner is immersed into the antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care provided to mothers and the neonatal care provided to their babies. It takes about two-and-a-half hours to complete the module and can be used as evidence of CPD hours undertaken for revalidation.

By navigating the module’s content, learners will deepen their understanding of NHS Resolution’s role within the healthcare system, develop their understanding of the law of negligence as applied to clinical claims and explore how clinical decisions and actions can lead to avoidable harm.

Developed in collaboration with clinicians and academics from Staffordshire University and London South Bank University, this essential resource is tailor-made for multi-disciplinary teams within maternity services who are seeking innovative ways to achieve the National Maternity safety ambition.

Learners access the eLearning module through the elearning for health platform.
