PROMOTING DIGNITY, RESPECT AND COMPASSION IN MATERNITY SERVICES

It should go without saying that maternity services should provide the most compassionate and respectful care to women and their families. Yet evidence from across the world shows that this is not always the case. The purpose of this set is to provide knowledge on how to promote dignity, respect and compassion in services that covers the relationships amongst staff as well as to the women who access them. Talks cover recognising the importance of enabling women to make their decisions as well as guidance on how to improve care.
