___________________________________________________________________ News from MIDIRS (Midwives Information & Resource Service)
MIDIRS – or the Midwives Information & Resource Service – is a not-for-profit educational charity providing effective information resources that help maternity health care professionals or students succeed in their professional development and studies. Research presents new technique to predict success of labour induction A team from Valencia’s Polytechnic University (UPV) and the City’s Hospital Universitari i Politècnic La Fe has developed a new technique that could help predict the success of labour induction during the first hour which it is applied. 19/12/2019 Inducing women with low-risk pregnancies at 41 weeks could reduce risk to baby’s life A paper, co-authored by a professor from the University of Birmingham, indicates that inducing low-risk pregnant women at 41 weeks gestation, instead of 42 weeks, reduces the risk to the baby’s life. Professor of Evidence Based Maternity Care at the University of Birmingham’s Institute of Applied Health Research, Professor Sara Kenyon, has co-authored a paper on establishing optimal time to induce women who have gone beyond 40 weeks of pregnancy.

Birthrights criticises government’s decision to delay publishing maternity care report Birthrights, a charity that promoted human rights in maternity care, has criticised the government’s decision not to publish the MBRRACE-UK report “Saving Lives, Improving Mothers’ Care’. The MBRRACE-UK report was scheduled to be published 14 November 2019, but stakeholders were informed that the report will now be published no earlier than 13 December 2019 due to the government’s rules on publicity during purdah (pre-election period). Chief Executive of Birthrights, Amy Gibbs, said: “The MBRRACE report is vitally important to prevent future maternal deaths, particularly in light of the racial inequalities previous reports have exposed. Global organisations launch fertility awareness campaign A fertility awareness campaign has been launched by global organisations, sharing key facts about fertility and the risk of delaying planning a family. Thirteen organisations, including University College London (UCL), the British Fertility Society and Fertility Europe launched a poster campaign to help dispel common myths about fertility in response to the age of women having their first child rising and the decrease in births across many countries.

Fairy tale midwifery ten years on: facilitating the transition to newly qualified midwife Kate Ashforth, Ellen Kitson-Reynolds
Abstract
The first article in this series, published in the British Journal of Midwifery, volume 27, number 10, identified that newly qualified midwives continue to experience reality shock on initiation of first post, despite preceptorship programmes that aim to ease transition from student to qualified practitioner. Mentors are important in facilitating student decision-making, criticality and reflective practice, and share such roles as teaching, support and role modelling with preceptors. Although transition begins at the inception of midwifery training, there is a paucity of research exploring the role of mentors in preparing students for autonomous practice. The recent shift to replace mentors with practice supervisors and assessors provides an opportunity to consider strategies to better prepare student midwives for autonomous practice and mitigate against fairy tale midwifery. British Journal of Midwifery Volume 27, Issue 1202 Dec 2019 https://doi.org/10.12968/bjom.2019.27.12.782 Vaginal birth after caesarean: how NICE guidelines can inform midwifery practice Tessa Dunning, Hayley Martin, Yvonne McGrath British Journal of Midwifery Volume 27, Issue 1102 Nov 2019 Abstract
Vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) is an increasingly common choice offered to women in the UK. March 2019 saw the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) publish new guidelines surrounding this area of intrapartum care. NICE's recommendations could be used in conjunction with existing guidelines, for example those published by the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (RCOG) in 2015, to improve the experiences for women choosing VBAC and support healthcare professionals caring for women choosing trial of labour after caesarean (TOLAC) and VBAC. This article explores the history of VBAC and discusses how the new guidelines may inform future practice. https://doi.org/10.12968/bjom.2019.27.11.689 How do risk management principles fit in with the reality of clinical midwifery? Evette Sebastien Roberts British Journal of Midwifery Volume 27, Issue 1102 Nov 2019 Abstract Background Risk assessment and management has become a key focus in midwifery practice, in light of failings in maternity care. Whilst studies have explored risk management within healthcare, it has not looked at its impact on normal midwifery practice. https://doi.org/10.12968/bjom.2019.27.11.703 Neonatal resuscitation: ‘room side to motherside’ Suzanne Stamoulos, Rachel Lavelle British Journal of Midwifery Volume 27, Issue 1102 Nov 2019 Abstract Delayed clamping of the neonatal umbilical cord is considered beneficial to the transition to extrauterine life in a term, uncomplicated birth. However, some neonates require resuscitation and the ability to perform this is a fundamental aspect of midwifery practice. The decision to clamp and cut the umbilical cord often precludes any resuscitative attempt, but the reasoning for this action is unclear. This article explores the purpose and place of leaving the umbilical cord intact during neonatal resuscitation. It considers the physiological basis for delaying cord clamping as well as the psychological benefits to baby, mother and family of leaving the cord intact until resuscitation is complete. https://doi.org/10.12968/bjom.2019.27.11.716 Perinatal mental health provision across the UK David Hancock Journal of Health Visiting Volume 7, Issue 1102 Nov 2019

Performance Indicators – In Q2, we have
increased delivery on many of our training
programmes. This includes literature searches
and our social media training. To ensure that
these programmes are of benefit to the
learner, we have implemented a range of tools
to measure the quality and the impact of what
we do. For example, our learners tell us that
our library induction is the best induction that
they have ever had at any Trust (FY2s). In addition to this, our social media training
questionnaire has received very favourable comments, including “the training received has been
brilliant and I can’t wait to use this to promote all the things that we do”.
Education @ELHT is produced every two months and it highlights all the wonderful work that
the department does. Our Library Guide highlights all the services that we offer. Click on the
Bulletin or Guide and find out more about how we can support you, whether you are staff,
student, or volunteers.
