Series 13 - Episode 8: Empathy - improving care for women, babies and families

Today's maternity services are busy and potentially stressful areas for women to navigate and for midwives and student midwives to provide individualised and appropriate antenatal, labour and postnatal care.

Developing an empathic approach to care can really impact on the experience of the women and family, their access to information and their choices.

Our speakers are both engaged in innovative work to assist busy practitioners, as well as those in training, to develop their empathy, in real world practice.
