This video is designed for student midwives to support their university studies. It outlines what post partum haemorrhage (PPH) is, the usual causes, risk factors and possible consequences.
The references below are those used in this session but it is always appropriate to seek the most current guidance and evidence to support your practice.
This presentation is based on UK practice in January 2021. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the information is correct, Motivational midwife takes no liability for the content. Clinicians should use any information shown in the context of their expertise and local practice.
