The Trust will launch its new UHCW SpeakUp app on Wednesday, 19th October 2022. Please come and join us to celebrate the
launch of the app in the Faith Centre, between 1pm – 2pm.
This app will enable staff to easily raise concerns with our network of Freedom to Speak Up Ambassadors and Freedom to Speak
Up Guardian.
“The app can be accessed by all staff, but it will be especially useful for those who don’t traditionally use computers in their day-
to-day jobs and wouldn’t email the Guardian or Ambassadors,” said Lorna Shaw, UHCW’s Freedom to Speak Up Guardian.

Neyber Financial Wellbeing
Money matters play a big part in your emotional wellbeing – particularly at this time of year. Support is available with Neyber; an
employee benefit that’s focused on helping you feel happier with your finances and could save you money on your monthly debt
repayments. This benefit has been in place at the Trust since 2016 and gives you access to affordable loans and free financial
education resources.
If you want to learn more about how to better manage your money, improve your credit score, have the confidence to make big
financial decisions or are considering how to access a loan then visit the Neyber Financial Wellbeing Hub at
www.neyber.co.uk/uhcw
A couple of things to consider before applying:
Consider if it’s the right time for you to take a loan and if the repayments are affordable
Check our eligibility criteria online to avoid disappointment and prevent affecting your credit score
The benefits package that Health Service Discounts have developed brings all NHS employees free access to a number of trusted
retailers and suppliers who are discounting their products and services in recognition of the job that all NHS employees do.

Dear all,
I have created an “Infant Feeding” folder on the shared drive
for ward 25.
There are two folders for the feeding packs and there is
additional information about pump rental, postnatal
expressing and
community infant feeding team support. All can be printed off
and given to women.
Please let me know if there is some specific information you
would like me to add.

Service users boost to the RCM!

Maternity services users’ voices have been brought into the heart of the RCM to strengthen its work.

They are joining midwives, student midwives and maternity support workers because we all share a
common goal: for maternity care to be safe and personalised and for both the workforce and service
users to be well cared for and supported.

The network is currently being scoped and co-created with staff and members with a view to
launching in early 2023.

Chair Emma Taylor was appointed in June and is currently listening to staff and RCM members
through conversations, focus groups and a survey, to ensure that the Network really serves the work
of the RCM.

Your support is needed with this engagement exercise, so please complete and share this survey
with your networks https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/RCMSVN1

For more information contact Emma directly on [email protected]

PRECEPT: When administering MgSo4 & Steroids reminder to complete the Antenatal Steroid and
Magnesium Sulphate Wizards on K2, so accurate and up to date information can be transferred across to
Badger Net.

Computerised CTG: All admissions with RFM alone must have a computerised CTG as this is part of Saving
Babies Lives recommendations and forms part of our CNST compliance. Please contact Wendy Taylor if you
need further training.

K2: Please remember it is your own responsibility to complete your K2 online learning before it expires:
Regular email reminders are sent out 6 weeks before it is due to be completed. Please liaise with your ward
manager or manager of the area you are working in if you are struggling to complete this mandatory training,
so you can be allocated time for this to be completed during your working day.

Fresh eye reviews: All fresh eyes and ears must be carried out every hour by a second independent
midwife /obstetrician to assess fetal wellbeing during intrapartum care including a full assessment of the
woman’s history. Please can you ensure at each review there is clear documentation that a 2nd
midwife/Obstetrician is present and they should be logging in to K2 with their finger print to confirm the
assessment.
You should not be completing your own fresh eye reviews, if there are no available midwives or
obstetricians to complete the review due to a clinical emergency you may complete it yourself and you must
document the reason why you have completed it and then ask a colleague to complete it asap (this will mean
there are two reviews completed for this Hour!) Please contact Wendy Taylor if you are really struggling to get
these reviews carried out. I am noticing that some midwives are still completing their own reviews which I am
monitoring closely as this performs part of our auditing criteria.
