Education refresher sheets
Supporting health professionals during Covid-19
These quick education refresher sheets can be used by staff working during the Covid-19 crisis.
During the Coronavirus outbreak, we have been informed of the need for quick and easy-to-use education refresher sheets for staff working to deliver postnatal care. This could include return to practice midwives, third year students who have been fast-tracked to practice, or healthcare assistants who have been redeployed into postnatal care within hospital or community settings. This information is an interim measure to help staff provide support and does not replace training. Staff can use the links provided as additional aides and share relevant links and information with parents.
If your service would benefit from additional reference sheets on a specific topic not already covered, please contact us at [email protected].
