MatNeoSIP is led by the National Patient Safety team and covers all maternity and neonatal services across England. It continues to be supported by 15 regionally-based Patient Safety Collaboratives.

The programme aims to:

• improve the safety and outcomes of maternal and neonatal care by reducing unwarranted variation and provide a high quality healthcare experience for all women, babies and families across maternity and neonatal care settings in England
• contribute to the national ambition, set out in Better Births of reducing the rates of maternal and neonatal deaths, stillbirths, and brain injuries that occur during or soon after birth by 50% by 2025.

Brought to you by the Academic Health Science Network North East and North Cumbria (AHSN NENC) - Grief, Loss and Bereavement Training for employers, line managers and anyone responsible for staff

About this Event

Bereavement is a huge challenge for employers as most of us will experience the death of a family member or close friend during our working lives.

Death and dying are not easy subjects to talk about but they are issues that affect us all and have been at the forefront of our daily lives more so than ever during 2020.

This short, taster session is designed to help you understand how to positively support a colleague back to work following the death of a loved one. We will look at the importance of having a strategy in place within your organisation, not only in relation to your duty of care but also as good business practice regarding staff retention, time lost through absence and the wellbeing of your team.

The session is delivered online by St Oswald’s Hospice’s Bereavement Team and lasts around 45 minutes. The session will be held on Zoom.

Date: Thursday 25 February 2021

We wanted to take this opportunity to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

2020 has been an incredibly challenging year. Nonetheless, it has been a year where we have seen remarkable innovation, adaptation, and strength of spirit. 

We continue to send you our very best wishes, thanks, and appreciation for all your efforts during this pandemic.

We look forward to 2021 with optimism in light of the vaccine, and hope that whilst our innovations will not be lost, some sense of normality will slowly begin to return.

As we move into the New Year, please remember to look after yourself and look after your team, as we continue to learn from our experiences.
