Did all staff introduce themselves at each contact and were they courteous and respectful at all times Do you feel you were given the correct amount of information during your pregnancy?

One of these themes identifies that women do not always have a thorough understanding of their birth experiences or maternity care. In an attempt to address this maternity services have developed the ‘talking about birth clinic’ and the ‘debrief process’ Development of the ‘talking about birth clinic’ and ‘debrief process’ “Great care by all” A group of midwives are developing a listening, planning and debriefing service for women. The aim being to fulfil a growing need in women to discuss and plan for their pregnancy/childbirth, or understand issues surrounding or relating to a previous pregnancy. The ultimate aim being that women move forward with confidence and empowerment, as they prepare and plan for the subsequent birth. The aim of this service is to promote normality wherever possible, avoid ‘history repeating itself’, and for some women, reducing their fears and anxieties relating to childbirth. Women are identified primarily by either their Obstetric Consultant or Community Midwife, and then referred to the clinic. The midwives involved work alongside their medical colleagues to prevent unnecessary interventions. In a single 1 to 1 ‘listening and planning’ session, women that have been referred can explore the sometimes deep rooted and complex issues, in a safe environment. A suitable written plan is then formulated. This service has been available for some time within South Tees at the Friarage site and has recently been developed at James Cook. Future plans are being developed to evaluate outcomes in order that the service can be taken forward.
