Episode 166 Personalised Care

As we navigate the intricate journey of childbirth, there is a  balance between a mother's autonomy and stringent clinical guidelines.  Step into the world of Personalised Care in maternity services, where my discussion sheds light on the emotional complexities of honouring the unique birth plans of expectant mothers. This episode is a clarion call for healthcare providers to listen deeply, advocate for informed consent, and partner with pregnant women to create empowering birth experiences that resonate with their individual wishes. Join us for an engaging exploration of the challenges and triumphs in the quest for Personalised Care. From the implementation of a cutting-edge maternity teaching module to the role of the Personalised Care Institute's e-learning, we uncover the ways in which professionals are striving to marry personalized care with the realities of clinical practice. As we close, I extend an invitation to contribute ideas for future discussions, and share the means to support the continuation of our enriching, conversation-led journey through the landscape of obstetrics.Want to know more?https://learn.personalisedcareinstitute.org.uk/https://learn.personalisedcareinstitute.org.uk/course/view.php?id=35https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/B0423-personalised-care-and-support-planning-guidance-for-lms.pdfThank you all for listening,  My name is Florence Wilcock I am an NHS doctor working as an obstetrician, specialising in the care of both mother and baby during pregnancy and birth.
