How to care for your team when an obstetric drama occurred
It happens very rarely, but since 2021, at least 34 hospitals in Belgium have been confronted with a maternal death.
A young woman who dies, during pregnancy or shortly after giving birth, affects everyone deeply. Certainly all healthcare providers who were involved.
How does a life-threatening (obstetric) complication progress? How do you approach this as a team? How do you support your team during and after this event? What is a possible approach to open disclosure? How do we analyse critical events such as maternal mortality and how can we learn from them? What skills does this require?
The B.OSS and BAMM team would like to invite you to this fascinating evening symposium, intended for all healthcare providers involved in the follow-up and treatment of women during or after pregnancy and childbirth.
