Parents and PMRT Review

The Parents and PMRT Review: Communicating and involving parents in the review of their baby's death webinar is hosted live and is ideal for any professional working in maternity services or neonatal care. The session will cover the key principles, pathway and resources to support parent engagement in the hospital review of their care as outlined by the Perinatal Mortality Review Tool (PMRT). It is designed to support professionals across multi-disciplinary teams whether they have had training in bereavement care or not.

At the end of this session participants will understand what meaningful parent engagement in hospital review looks like. We will outline a pathway and indicate the resources which are available. We will share ideas for solutions to barriers in communicating hospital review to parents through break-out sessions.

The voice of bereaved parents and the needs of professionals supporting them are at the centre of the learning materials, which include video content and links to useful tools and research. The session will last 2 hours and will include the following topics:

• The parent experience

• The importance of hospital review and the PMRT

• Principles of meaningful parent engagement

• A pathway for parent engagement

• Tools and resources to support engagement

• Links to research and further support

The session will be interactive so if you would like us to cover any specific areas or if you have any questions please do raise them during the webinar or contact us in advance of the session.

All participants in recent feedback said they would recommend the training to others and that their knowledge had vastly increased.

What participants said:

“I liked hearing about how to overcome barriers and the list that identified some barriers I hadn't considered.”

‘I will bring in all aspects of communication and managing barriers into my workplace and role as a Health Visitor. It is good to have been informed around support networks and the PRMT, as was unclear on this.’

‘I will make sure that I frame the importance of their perspectives differently, especially after seeing Chloe's experience.’
