Episode eleven of the Midwifery Hour, series eight, Sue Macdonald, Midwifery Expert, Mayes Midwifery was joined by Lizzie Phillips, Specialist Perineal Midwife, University Hospital Plymouth NHS Trust, Clinical Midwifery Lead OASI2
Can you reduce and recognise severe tears?
This episode, Lizzie Phillips asks if midwives can change the story of women’s pelvic health, sharing women’s real stories following perineal damage.
As midwives, we are women’s advocates and have opportunities to educate women, use techniques to reduce trauma during birth and give real choices throughout pregnancy and birth to the families we care for. It’s midwives that recognise red flags and deviations from physiological birth, but is women’s pelvic health seen as an essential part of our ongoing training?
This talk will empower you with the knowledge you need to get started on your journey to improving your knowledge of life long pelvic health.
