@DOckendenLtd presents at #Anaesthesia2023 on the Ockenden Report - a year on, have we made progress? #OBAnes ImageImage
What were the key messages of the Ockenden Report from @DOckendenLtd? Final report March 2022 (distributed amongst #OBAnes at @IWKHealth @DalAnesthesia - learnings valuable even across the pond): failures of quality of care & governance; failure of external bodies to monitor;… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImageImageImage
What did the media say? Overall coverage fair, balanced and commended by families.
And Nottingham? Maternity review is underway… themes continue.
#Anaesthesia2023 #OBAnes (prelude to #OAA23ASM) ImageImage
What are the challenges facing UK maternity services? (what are they in your country/ province/ state/ county/ town/ hospital? - pretty sure some are the same!) Short staffed & burnt out; more complex parturients; inequalities & deprivation; underfunding… all made worse by… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
What themes were identified wrt #OBAnes at Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust? Some of these could occur in #AnyAnes practice.
How were anaesthetic cases identified? Only 68 cases (too many, while very few) and maternal deaths 😱. Look at the anaesthetic review triggers.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
Are #OBAnes truly part of the MDT, or are they epidural jockeys/ gas peddlers? Just being viewed as a technician = badness. #AnyAnes consider wider picture, and should be involved early. Anaesthesia should be made aware & given time to contribute to #patientsafety. Good summary… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
Immediate and essential actions (FIFTEEN) for ALL maternity units - 10 key areas (3 include anaesthesia): workforce, postnatal follow up & documentation. Words of colleagues #Anaesthesia2023 #OBAnes (prelude to #OAA23ASM) ImageImage
Feedback from NHS colleagues after final @DOckendenLtd report
#Anaesthesia2023 #OBAnes (prelude to #OAA23ASM) ImageImageImage
Next steps. Across England we’re seeing change. 3 examples of maternity teams working toward the 15 IEA’s - many more, so little time. #Anaesthesia2023 #OBAnes (prelude to #OAA23ASM) ImageImageImage
We must listen to staff on the ground - drums are beating well before problems revealed. @DOckendenLtd Report has allowed staff to feel free to come forward at Nottingham. We have to also recognize the results of increasing deprivation and it’s effects on maternity care… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
Take aways, take home messages and hope from @DOckendenLtd! #Anaesthesia2023 #OBAnes (prelude to #OAA23ASM) ImageImageImage

Prof Donald Peebles on Embedding Maternal Medicine Networks at #OAA23ASM. Knowing who to call is half the solution to any problem? (Touched on by @elsmere_g during #OBAnes session at #Anaesthesia2023) Image
Direct maternal mortality rate per 100,000 maternities had been decreasing over the last 2 decades, but should a remarkable upswing since 2018, not all accounted for by #COVID19. @mbrrace outlined a case for change: most parts of UK have MDT, but make up variable most without… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage

@NoelleHealy (another 🇮🇪 representative - @ISOA_Ireland well represented!) presents on #OBAnes as a team sport - how do we perform better? at #OAA23ASM. Quite an inspiring quote, then setting the stage with @Fionafionakel et al #humanfactors guidelines in @Anaes_Journaltwitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImageImage
Why is teamwork important in OB/ #OBAnes? @mbrrace suggests some lessons to be learned. Prompt action is arguably reliant on good communication, within & between teams. Involving consultant/ specialist care early has been a theme for over a decade. #OAA23ASM ImageImageImage
@DOckendenLtd’ final report highlighted “conflicting agendas and poor teamwork” contribute to adverse maternal & neonatal outcomes? So how do we create good teams?

The @JulieAndrews approach may have the hills alive, but for #OBAnes we may need to start at the very beginning,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
