This staff training webinar is aimed at those who support mothers express breastmilk on the neonatal unit (NNU), transitional care unit (TCU), postnatal ward or community. The objectives are to raise awareness of the importance of flange fitting and provide the skills to deliver this care. This practice is a recommendation of newly published research. This demonstrates that when women are correctly fitted with a breast pump flange they will achieve a higher milk yield and experience less discomfort . The webinar was produced in collaboration between University Hospitals Southampton, Health Innovation Wessex and NHS South West.
Funded by NHS England South West, Health Innovation Wessex is supporting the spread of a quality improvement project initiated in University Hospital Southampton. The project focuses on equity of access to appropriate equipment for expressing maternal breastmilk.
The aim of this toolkit, developed by Health Innovation Wessex, is to tell you everything you need to know about this project and provide you with the tools and resources to implement a similar project in your own healthcare setting.
