Maternity Spotlight: Guiding Infection Control: essential expectations of your obstetric lubricant
Guiding Infection Control: essential expectations of your obstetric lubricants – understanding what you’re using and why
If you think infection control in maternity is well understood and nailed down in practice watch this webinar with Professor Dinah Gould who recently gave evidence to the COVID enquiry. You will be surprised at the list of infection types and the risks of serious infection. We are reminded how long it took to get MRSA infections taken seriously. More recently the risk of Sepsis is at the top of many infection control lists but maternity has its own risks to mother and baby. This webinar is a timely reminder, when complaints about post natal care are increasingly highlighted in enquiries, that you can never be too careful.
Panel discussion with:
Dr Rachel McGuire, Doctor, Harrogate NHS Foundation Trust
Professor Dinah Gould, Independent Consultant
