Multidisciplinary Approaches to Maternal Health (formally Medical Problems During Pregnancy)

We may only encounter pregnant women occasionally and may not have a working knowledge of either the dynamic physiology of pregnancy or the effect this has on interpretation of examination findings and laboratory investigations. This may lead to a delay in the timely and appropriate management of the acutely unwell pregnant woman.

This programme was initially designed for trainees in Internal Medicine. It has been re-launched to support the wider multidisciplinary team including ACCS (Acute Care Common Stem), Obstetrics and Anaesthesia and all allied health professionals who encounter pregnant or recently pregnant women in their clinical practice. The programme has been updated to represent current knowledge and guidelines.

These sessions have been developed in partnership with the HEE Maternity Programme.

eIntegrity programmes are developed by NHS Health Education England’s e-Learning for Healthcare programme (HEE e-LfH). 

The programmes are high quality self-directed learning programmes.  They are designed to support training and CPD and are excellent resources alongside other traditional teaching methodologies.  They have been developed by the UK NHS for use in the NHS.  However, many of the programmes have international relevance, particularly the specialty training programmes which are often mapped to UK specialty training curricula.
