Coming soon...

This workshop is for all clinicians and researchers who seek to improve the quality and safety of maternity care, with a focus on fetal growth surveillance which is central to the wellbeing of mother and baby.

This interactive workshop will help participants understand modern principles of fetal growth surveillance and

1. define normal and abnormal growth by customised versus population based growth charts;
2. learn standardised fundal height measurement and referral pathways for further investigation;
3. understand early and late onset fetal growth restriction and the role of ultrasound and Doppler;
4. learn about initiatives that have applied these principles to reduce adverse pregnancy outcome.

This workshop is for anyone who is keen to improve the processes and outcomes in their respective areas of work. This workshop will equip participants with the essential QI knowledge, principles and tools that can be applied in their daily work, in both clinical and non-clinical areas, and even personal life.

This workshop addresses three fundamental questions that must be addressed in any QI initiative:

1. What is the problem? Many QI efforts have failed despite best efforts by trying to answer the wrong problem.
2. What are the root causes of the problem? Just as in clinical medicine, tackling symptoms instead of the underlying pathology often results in recurrence of the problem.
3. How do we know that our interventions work? In developing and testing solutions, we need to ensure that they are reliable, sustainable and scalable

This workshop is meant for everyone who is keen to learn and improve from incidents. This creates many learning opportunities and indeed strengthens further organizational environment and processes to reduce harm in our patients.

At the end of this workshop, learners will be able:

1. To understand the principles of RCA
2. To be able to conduct an effective and systematic RCA when investigating an incident
3. To develop skills at critical analysis of incidents
4. To effectively make recommendations for improvement and action

To encourage active participation for a meaningful learning, there will be small group discussions throughout the session. This will enable a more interactive discussion among participants to make this session meaningful.
