Three maternity modules within the Cultural Competence elearning programme have recently been reviewed and updated.

The resources support clinicians to gain knowledge and understanding of the issues around culture and health; and how this might reduce disparities in healthcare outcomes. Developed by NHS England, elearning for healthcare and the Royal College of Midwives, the updated modules now include the recent evidence base and literature on culture, the potential impact on health outcomes and lived experience.

They support the delivery of the Better Births vision of improving maternity care in England and helps to deliver the three year delivery plan for maternity and neonatal services’ ambition to reduce the rate of stillbirths, neonatal and maternal deaths and intrapartum brain injuries in babies in England by 50% by 2025.
