Epping Hospital
Institution: Hospital
Location: Epping Victoria, Australia
Background
Epping Hospital is a large facility with approximately 4,000 births annually and a team of healthcare professionals managing deliveries. Not all midwives at the hospital repair birth lacerations, but today, midwives have the opportunity to expand their skills, ensuring more can confidently repair 1st and 2nd-degree tears.
Implementation
To develop midwives’ confidence and competence, Epping Hospital uses GynZone to prepare for perineal repair workshops and integrates GynZone content into the workshop sessions. They find GynZone’s animated and real-life video demonstrations extremely helpful for both novice and experienced clinicians, as they provide a clear, step-by-step approach to repairing all degrees of perineal tears.
The impact
- Enhanced workshop efficiency and outcomes
- Improvements in theoretical knowledge, diagnostics and suturing skills
- Confident and competent staff in suturing birth lacerations
Conclusion
By using GynZone as preparation, they experienced fully prepared staff for their perineal repair sessions, as well as more confident and competent midwives. Furthermore midwives report improvements of the theoretical knowledge of diagnostics and repair, as well as the initial and ongoing development of their suturing skills.
