Maternity Foundation provides access to updated WHO aligned clinical guidelines via the Safe Delivery App. Over the past years the Safe Delivery App has been integrated into national training initiatives and curricula in countries such as Ghana, India and Cambodia. We want to share our experience working with partners to integrate a digital, evidence-based tool in midwifery education and for continued professional development and learn from peers about their experience with using and integrating digital tools.

Abstract:
Childbirth is a unique experience for women. In Ireland, Major Obstetric Haemorrhage (MOH) is the most frequently reported severe maternal morbidity (SMM) with an incidence of 3.27 per 1,000 maternities. Much is known now about the management of PPH and there is some research on women and their partner’s experience, less is known about how the woman feels emotionally following a PPH, or what informational needs and emotional support is required. The aim of this study was to understand how women felt after experiencing a severe PPH, to listen to their first-hand experience and learn what improvements could be made for future care for women who experience a PPH. A descriptive, quantitative approach was conducted using semi structured interviews with women who had a severe PPH of 2.5 litres or above within four and fourteen months postpartum. five women took part in this study. The women identified a lack of information provided to them about the reason for the significant bleed. The women voiced they could overhear information about the event discussed between health care professionals but not with the woman. The care the women received in the HDU was significantly different to the care they received on the postnatal wards, and the women were not informed they were clinically well for transfer to the postnatal ward. It was reported the postnatal wards were busy and short staffed and the women looked for more emotional support from staff, which was not available, this had an effect on the postnatal wards.
