processes and documentation.

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.
This PSANZ-PMG workshop is a satellite meeting of the PSANZ 12th Annual
Congress. See below for more details on this and other satellite meetings.
