It’s also really important to recognise that in order to support patient safety for new borns and children, we need to think about the parents and their journey through the health system.
what about mothers and postnatal illnesses such as postnatal depression? Psychosis? PTSD from birth trauma. All of these things impact on a new born and their development.
It is also how the parent experiences health services and patient care that can also have an impact on children!
