The continuity of care experience is included in Midwifery education but does not have nationally defined learning outcomes (LOs). @IHT_Deakin researchers @OliviaTierney9 @ProfLindaSweet & @Vidanka2 established LOs by expert consensus in @womenandbirth➡bit.ly/3QWerp5

That’s a wrap for #PSANZ2024 grateful to share this experience with @ebsature @paigevdp and @western_health colleagues and thanks to @DeakinQPS @IHT_Deakin for supporting us to get here.
Great to have another opportunity to present the barriers and enablers to antenatal care for women referred to social work services. Fitting in with one of the core themes at #PSANZ2024 that continuity of care is fundamental!
All women deserve midwifery continuity but those with social complexities should be prioritised. @CarolineHomer identifying benefits, challenges & opportunities for improving access to midwifery continuity of care at #PSANZ2024
Tracy Bale taking me back to my PhD roots at #PSANZ2024 about the neurodevelopmental effects of stress mediated by the placenta.
Amazing work in ‘Baby coming you ready’ not a single indigenous family who were involved in the program referred to child protection. @JayneKotz @bridgettekelly

Breastfeeding is important to mothers, babies, & societies. A hospital-run low-cost pump hire service can encourage mothers to provide breastmilk for at-risk babies. Read about it in our recent publication doi.org/10.1111/jan.16180

Great to see more evidence to support the delivery of maternity care of women with histories of bariatric surgery.
Women who have bariatric surgery before pregnancy need additional support for breastfeeding - see our latest article
