The Southeast PPI group present the latest in their webinar series, discussing Perinatal Palliative Care: no longer in its infancy.
We hear two stories of palliative care experiences in the neonatal region, and from nurses working across the region to improve understanding of and access to perinatal palliative care, including education initiatives and dedicated posts that are supported by local hospices.
Key challenges described are around access and understanding, and ways to improve include early identification and relationship building, familiar staff who are engaged in memory making and suitable bereavement spaces, as well as being able to hold uncertainty together.
