SafetyNet SEMINAR: PremPath: Understanding implementation and improvement of perinatal optimisation

This SafetyNet webinar will explore findings from PremPath, an NIHR‑funded qualitative study examining how the perinatal optimisation pathway is implemented across NHS settings.

In this session, Dr Julie Roberts will share new insights from extensive interviews with regional perinatal safety leaders, ethnographic case studies across four NHS sites, and parent experiences of preterm birth. The webinar will highlight the relational and emotional work behind implementation, the challenges and opportunities of data‑driven improvement, gaps in coordination of care, the importance of equity and respectful care, and what families themselves tell us about navigating the pathway.

In this webinar, they will present findings around:

1. The relational and emotional work of regional leads to engage stakeholders in implementation and improvement.
2. The opportunities and challenges of the extensive data work that underpins improvement.
3. Gaps in coordination of care, particularly between neonatal units and postnatal care.
4. The importance of equity and respectful care across the pathway
5. Parents experiences of the pathway.
