On CQC Maternity Survey 2015
& action
Picture
Caption: Eeek I offered to host a #MatExpHour tweetchat another first for me!
Picture
Caption: This story is an attempt to capture the lively discussion , I hope I have done it justice, apologies if I miss something you feel was very important by accident
Caption: Never content to make things easy I was going to be on the move at the time so I co opted a couple of fab co hosts @victoriaRM6 & @leighakendall and also prepared a few questions...
Picture
Picture
Caption: Q1
Are you aware of the CQC maternity survey results either nationally or locally? Did they confirm your views or did you learn something new?
Caption: This provoked 2 main areas of discussion , first that of exclusion of bereaved parents from the survey sample
Picture
Picture
Caption: The other area explored was does the CQC maternity survey influence women's choice?
Picture
Picture
Picture
Caption: Q2
Why do you think the results suggest worse experience for first time mothers and what could we do to improve this?
Picture
Caption: The clear focus here was communication & plenty of ideas as to how to improve it

Caption: Q3
How can we ensure all women are treated with dignity & respect and are talked to in a way they can understand?
Are there specific groups of women whose needs we are failing to address?

Why are increasing numbers of women having a vaginal birth in lithotomy (stirrups) ? How can we reverse this trend?
Picture
Caption: The conversation took a slight detour off to alternative positions for assisted births
Picture
Picture
Caption: Then back to the issue of lithotomy for unassisted vaginal birth 👀‼️

Caption: Q5
How can we encourage less well performing services to replicate what works well elsewhere? How can we motivate 'good' performers to help spread good practice? Do MSLCs have a role here? Are there any examples of 'buddying' 'good' & 'poor' services?
Caption: Many good ideas here
Picture
Caption: Although also a reminder than many on #MSLC currently often voluntary & need succession planning for user reps
Picture
Picture
Caption: I love the market stall idea - fits right in with the #MatExp bazaar
Picture
Picture
Caption: Plus the obvious answer #MatExp itself of course
Picture
Caption: Watch our impromptu workshop video here
Picture
Caption: Some practical #MatExpHour issues were creeping in 🍴but we were nearly there
Picture
Picture
Caption: Q6
Are you taking any action as a result of the survey that you would be willing to share ? Are there new actions you might take as a result of this #MatExpHour? Could you share this chat with others?
Caption: Well apart from all the actions already mentioned 💥‼️

Caption: A request for an encore👏🏼‼️
Picture
Caption: Hope this has inspired some of you to get involved , I've already seen some follow up actions - look out of a couple of #FabObs Blogs from @myobstetrician & @doctorrah
Picture
Caption: I hope I've you will feel I've done our conversation #matexphour justice & for those of you who missed it sparked some ideas
Any rate I can't squeeze anymore in as I've just discovered Steller has a page limit 😂 😱as I exceeded it‼️
Picture
Caption: Finally with grateful thanks to my family who carried my bags, stopped me getting run over or falling off the train platform whilst I hosted from a bus & train!
Picture
Caption: Next time maybe the path will be a little smoother!
