This presentation provides an overview into bereavement support in maternity. We cover the latest statistics, research, and challenges maternity providers and bereaved families face in this space. We also share the story of our daughter Isla and learnings from our experience. Some insights into communication skills, pregnancy after loss, and staff self-care strategies are also covered and resources explained.

This session is suitable for all health care providers who support families after pregnancy loss at any stage, stillbirth or neonatal death. No matter your experience in this field, our overview will provide you with updated knowledge and resources and will help enhance your current approach to bereavement support in maternity.

Our survey results and testimonials are proof that our education sessions make a difference to staff confidence and will enhance the care they provide in the future. Click here to read about past attendees’ feedback.
