Job Description
Job responsibilities
Following our 2023 CQC inspection, we are on a supported improvement journey within the maternity services. We have recently opened a dedicated maternity triage department with an associated dashboard to ensure safety and appropriate RAG rating of our women, we are launching BadgerNet a paperless maternity system in February 2024 including electronic CTG to enable viewing around the unit and we are reviewing our induction of labour processes, alongside our regional colleagues, to improve the journey for the women & birthing people accessing our services.
We are working closely with our system partners via the Local Maternity & Neonatal System to develop region wide escalation and support, and supporting our Maternity & Neonatal Voices Partnership in ensuring that women, birthing people and their families, voices are heard and changes implemented.
We are embedding the use of Birth Rate Plus reporting tool to ensure that any escalations are timely and used to support the development of the service to ensure it is safe for our service users.
We are collaboratively working with our Neonatal team and from January 2024 will be a Maternity & Neonatal Team working in partnership to ensure babies are born in the right place, with the right teams and support.
The health and wellbeing of our colleagues is also really important to us, and our latest NHS Staff Survey reflects this. Its great to know our engaged staff are feeling even more positive and enthusiastic by recommending the Trust as a place to work. Colleagues can look forward to a warm welcome and a future full of opportunities at Hull Womens and Childrens Hospital.
