Perinatal Bereavement and Loss

The aim of this module is to facilitate midwives and other health care professionals to work more effectively with bereaved parents and their families experiencing pregnancy loss or perinatal death. The quality of perinatal bereavement care delivered during the parents grieving journey can have long-lasting consequences. It may have a significant impact in shaping their healing process and may directly influence how they cope following their baby's death. The module is designed to facilitate all health care professionals to work more effectively with bereaved parents and their families (National Standards for Bereavement Care Following Pregnancy Loss and Perinatal Death 2016) and to explore the evolving healthcare environment in providing a caring, compassionate, person centred approach in leading and managing practice development.
