Introducing the latest Toolkit from BAPM

The latest Toolkit from the British Association of Perinatal Medicine (BAPM) is designed to support delivery of the perinatal optimisation care pathway.

Building Successful Perinatal Optimisation Teams will enable perinatal healthcare teams to assess their quality context, team interactions, functioning and ways of working and to use this assessment to provide intelligence about culture and readiness for change. In this way, it then becomes possible to plan improvements in team relationships and infrastructure towards the shared goal of reliably delivering evidence-based interventions in the antenatal, intrapartum and neonatal period to improve preterm outcomes. Topics include:

• improving effective leadership in perinatal optimisation
• safe and person-centred pathways of care
• effective team working, shared goals and positive communication
• effective and continuous learning from episodes of error, excellence and near miss
• engagement in audit, benchmarking and research
• establishing capability and capacity for quality improvement.
