New Online Program for Women and Care Providers
The Sharing Information Professionally (SIP) program for maternity care providers is designed to assist maternity care providers to refresh their skills on effective information sharing. The program goes through the WISE Guidelines in an interactive way that helps professionals gain CPD points.
The Women's Information Program is also part of this same project. It informs women on what it means to have a "WISE" care provider. It also helps inform women about the Healthcare Rights in Australia and how to use the Queensland Health Pregnancy Health Record. A toolbox is also available for women containing resources for making informed decisions during pregnancy and birth.Access the online programs here: www.wisematernitycare.org.au To read more about the evidence-based program of work click here
