HUMANISED CARE

Across the world, pregnant and birthing women are not always treated with dignity and respect. In some places, the experience women have been abusive. There is evidence, too, that midwives and other health carers are not always treating each other with kindness. The purpose of this box set is to examine the circumstances that lead to disrespectful care and address how to ensure services are humanised. The talks also explore the relationships between maternity staff and the effect of poor professional cultures.
