Following the success of the regular BSPGHAN intestinal failure and rehabilitation meetings there have been many requests to emanate this for challenging GI cases. Council has agreed to trial this forum. Click here for TOR for the meeting – importantly this is an EDUCATIONAL discussion of cases and is solely advisory with no clinical connotations. Please read the TOR carefully to make this clear.
The first meeting will be 13.00-15.00 on Thursday 13 July. Sunita Ranjani from Sheffield is hosting the first meeting and it is hoped that the hosting responsibility will rotate around the UK. Sunita will send details of how to register for the discussion and to present cases which are challenging within the next few days.
I do hope that as many senior colleagues as possible join the discussions to make this a worthwhile event. I may approach some of you directly to encourage your participation!
The Medical Problems in Pregnancy elearning programme has recently been reviewed and renamed Multidisciplinary Approaches to Maternal Health.
Developed with NHS England’s Maternity Team, the programme was originally aimed at internal medicine trainees, but following a significant review of its content, it is now aimed more widely at multi-disciplinary teams that deliver maternity services.
Multidisciplinary Approaches to Maternal Health features 10 modules covering topics including pregnancy physiology, prescribing safely in pregnancy and mental health. The sessions include interactive exercises, case studies and short videos to increase learners’ knowledge and confidence in this field.
By the end of the programme learners should gain a deeper understanding of physiological and pathophysiological influences that impact on women’s health during pregnancy, and their infants. They should also be able to evaluate the common medical disorders in pregnancy and communicate their knowledge to healthcare professionals that deliver patient-centred care.
