PSANZ Perinatal Mortality Group & ANZSA WORKSHOP
Getting PSANZ Mortality Audit Guidelines into Practise and Perinatal Mortality Priorities.
Friday 18 April 2008: Watermark Hotel & Spa, Gold Coast, Queensland.

This one day workshop prior to the PSANZ Congress will focus on setting priorities for perinatal mortality audit and stillbirth research as well as being an opportunity to pilot a new education program designed to implement the PSANZ guidelines.

Getting Guidelines into Practice: Using the PSANZ guidelines effectively is based on the SCORPIO method of teaching with 6 stations of 25 minutes and a maximum of 6 people per station. The six stations address the key recommendations of the PSANZ guidelines in the following areas: Classification, Investigation, Counselling for autopsy, Perinatal Mortality Audit Multidisciplinary Review, Appropriate documentation and Bereavement support.

This educational program is suitable for midwives, doctors and nurses providing maternity and newborn care and for bereavement counsellors. Participants will be taken through key aspects of the PSANZ guidelines in practical teaching sessions to assist them in the best practice at the time of stillbirth or neonatal death. The sessions will also address bereavement support for women and their families.
