Caring for women experiencing pregnancy loss: a free e-learning resource
We have developed this free e-learning resource to support you in providing the best care you can to women* experiencing pregnancy loss – that is, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy or molar pregnancy. The resource is based on the real experiences of health professionals and patients, and uses films and interactive activities to enhance your learning.
* Please note: we use the words’ woman’ and ‘women’ throughout this resource to refer to your patients, but we recognise that some people who have the physical loss may not identify as this gender.
Pregnancy loss can be a deeply distressing experience and the support you give can make all the difference to helping women – and partners – through this difficult time.
We know it isn’t always easy to find the time to reflect on the care you provide and we hope that this resource will help you increase your understanding of women’s experiences and how best to support them. You will also find that it is an excellent tool for continuing professional development and revalidation.
