REPORTS – April Agenda
Maternity Clinical Governance
(MSLC rep. Catherine Williams)
These monthly RBH meetings are about risk management and good practice. The formal business includes discussion and approval of new and revised guidelines, protocols and maternity information leaflets (CW receives the leaflets before each meeting to review and comment); review of particular cases where practices might need to be reviewed; complaints; staffing and capacity; and making arrangements to share NHS-wide alerts about clinical matters and new policy guidance e.g. NICE guidelines.
Topics discussed in recent meetings have included: Care Quality Commission visit to RBH including maternity; room closures – Rushey Birth Centre; proposed ‘Q’ code sticker pilot for Maternity Forum/MSLC
Maternity information leaflets reviewed and updated have included: High BMI: why do I need to see an anaesthetist?; Caring for your body in pregnancy; Spinal or epidural?; Propess for induction of labour; Wound care after caesarean section; Perineal trauma; Infant feeding when mother has a high BMI.
Parent Forum met in early April in a community café (Tilehurst) and discussed topics including: collecting feedback, recruiting more parent supporters/potential reps and developing the Facebook page.
