Conference celebrates success in improving maternal and neonatal care

Posted on 22 June 2012

A major conference on maternal and neonatal health care at the University of York will celebrate success and illustrate how best practice can be turned into common practice.

The event on Wednesday, 27 June will showcase the work of a large-scale project by the Yorkshire and Humber Health Innovation and Education Cluster (HIEC) designed to improve mother and infant care and includes an awards ceremony for those involved.

The HIEC Maternal and Infant Health Care programme is focusing on improving care in neonatal and maternity units across the Yorkshire and Humber region. The work includes developing education resources to support infant feeding, implementing sustainable, evidence-based change in key aspects of care in neonatal units and during admission in labour, and improving care for mothers in prison.
