Informed Consent in Maternity Care: More Than a Signature

Join Dr Naomi Holbeach for a thought-provoking Clinical Conversation exploring informed consent as an ongoing process of communication, trust and informed decision-making, not simply a legal requirement. Drawing on clinical, legal and ethical perspectives, Naomi will discuss practical approaches to supporting respectful maternity care. 

This session will be valuable for midwives, obstetricians, nurses, educators, leaders and anyone committed to improving women's experience of respectful maternity care. The content of this session is aimed as information for clinicians and medical terminology will be used. Pregnant women and their families are welcome to attend however there will not be consumer targeted information.
