ROYAL WOMEN’S HOSPITAL MIDWIFERY UPDATE FOR MCH NURSES
The Maternity Update program is a 4-hour online program dedicated and tailored
to MCH nurses across Victoria.
Run by the Maternity Services Education Program (MSEP) at the Royal Women’s
Hospital (RWH), this program aims to refresh knowledge and review recent
evidence-based practices in maternity postnatal care, working our way to
bridging the gap between hospitals and community settings.
The online format allows members to connect from a distance, with sessions
delivered in an interactive forum with expert guest speakers.
The program will include topics of:
* maternal postnatal care and complications
* neonatal care and complications as well as
* assessment and management of early breastfeeding.
These are presented by a clinical midwifery consultant at RWH and lactation
consultant.
The workshops are funded by the department and are free for Victorian MCH
nurses.
A total of 8 workshops will be offered in 2023/2024 with capacity for 50
participants in each. Attendance at these updates is suggested every 2-3 years.
Registrations are available through EventbriteExternal Link .
If you require further information about the midwifery updates, please email via
