Perinatal Bereavement and Loss - Module NS6122

Supporting families through pregnancy loss and perinatal death requires empathy, confidence and specialist knowledge. This 12-week, Level 9 micro-credential is designed for midwives and other healthcare professionals who want to provide sensitive, evidence-based care in times of profound grief.

Whether you work in maternity, neonatal, or community settings, this module will help you strengthen your practice and provide meaningful, person-centred support to families experiencing perinatal loss. 

This module is associated with Nursing - MSc, and Perinatal Mental Health - MSc. It can be taken as a standalone micro-credential or as part of a pathway to a larger award.
