Consultation and collaboration
Consultancy
We are happy to provide advice and guidance to hospital and community-based professionals regarding the care of patients with pregnancy loss.
In recent years, this has included reviewing patient information leaflets; guidance on policy and practice for sensitive disposal; and recommendations regarding certification of pregnancy loss.
We are also often able to advise on potential research studies and/or contribute the patient perspective on steering groups.
We encourage our members to help provide the patient point of view in their local hospitals, either by giving talks to staff and students or by joining joint staff-patient groups, such as the Maternity Liaison Committees.
Please contact us if you think we may be able to help.
