However, with the world in the grip of a coronavirus pandemic, many hospitals have restricted visitor access and consultations that once would have taken place in hospital are suddenly being moved online. Practise guidelines are changing almost daily - and women’s birth plans are changing too. In this Maternity & Midwifery Hour, Sarah, Abigail and Sue provide up-to-date information on working through COVID-19 and discuss how midwives and allied healthcare professionals are adapting their practice to continue offering the best support to pregnant women, new mothers and families during these exceptionally difficult times. Your chance to hear the latest thinking and get your questions answered. The Maternity & Midwifery Hour is sponsored by MATFLIX: video streaming from maternity experts.  Find out more: www.matflix.co.uk
