Free health talk - Understanding your postnatal journey

The next Understanding Health educational event takes place next Tuesday (11 July).

The free virtual talk will be hosted by University Hospitals Dorset’s head of midwifery, Kerry Taylor, alongside maternity colleagues who will talk about various aspects of your postnatal journey, including:

• What happens on your stay at the hospital
• First night at home
• What screening we offer

The talk will also highlight some of the support available through the NHS and ways in which new parents can feel supported in the first few weeks with their newborn.

After the talk, there will be a Q&A where you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions to the team.

The talk will run on Microsoft Teams and is open to everyone. There’s no need to download Teams to join. Click here to join the event at 10am on Tuesday 11 July. A recording of the talks will also be available after the event in the health talk library on UHD’s website here. The library is ever-growing and includes talks on a range of health issues.

At the beginning of the talk, a governor will speak about the benefits of becoming a member of the Trust and how you can join.
