About the Choice and Personalised Care in Maternity Services programme
This course will discuss how healthcare professionals can support women to make safe and informed decisions during their antenatal care and delivery. Using a case-based approach, it will discuss consultation skills and methods which healthcare professionals can use as well as the IDECIDE tool, due to be launched in 2023. It will also cover the Montgomery court case, which fundamentally changed the test for consent in the UK.
For brevity, the terms woman/women and the pronouns she/her/hers will be used throughout the course and quiz to represent anyone who is pregnant or giving birth, regardless of their gender identity. It is assumed that the care of a transgender or non-binary patient would involve a discussion about preferred pronouns and terminology and that this would be communicated to all of the healthcare team.
