Midwives learn more about screening tests
EAST YORKS: An online resource for midwives has been launched to improve care for mums-to-be and newborn babies.
The web-based training module has been created by experts at NHS Yorkshire and the Humber, the region's strategic health authority, and the UK National Screening Committee.
It aims to broaden and enhance midwives' skills and practice in six vital screening tests offered to pregnant women and newborn babies.
Jill Walker, co-project lead and regional antenatal and child health screening manager at NHS Yorkshire and the Humber, said: "This learning module is a fantastic initiative – it's flexible and truly engaging and makes learning quick and easy for busy midwives.
"Screening is very important for pregnant women and newborn babies.
"It can help midwives identify certain health conditions early on, so that appropriate care can be given.
"We're committed to helping midwives continue to improve their professional skills and practice so they can offer the best possible care to new mums and babies."
