Best Practice In Post-Pregnancy Contraception: The Lessons Learnt
The following is imperative: 1 . The Importance of Supportive Commissioning and Leadership Locally 2 . The Importance of a Contraceptive Champion 3 . The Role of the Nurse or Midwife as a Conduit for PPC Provision 4 . Fostering Collaboration Across Disciplines, and Establishing Clear Care Pathways to Support 5 . The Importance of Contraceptive Counselling During Pregnancy 6 . The Importance of Robust Workforce Training and Education 7 . The Importance of Access to Evidence-Based, Accurate Information on Contraception 8 . The Importance of Efficient Digital Infrastructure for Guiding, Recording, Monitoring and Evaluating PPC Services
In compiling this report on best practice of PPC, the CoSRH heard from an array of contributors that many commissioners and service providers are going above and beyond what is set out in existing guidance to ensure that women receive the necessary high quality contraceptive care throughout their maternity journey. We know that professionals want to do this, and they want to get it right. From analysis of the dozens of case studies submitted to us from PPC providers across England, clear themes of best practice emerged providing valuable lessons to aid the improvement of existing services and for those considering establishing a PPC service. This report set out that effective commissioning and delivery of PPC is possible, necessary and financially efficient, and most importantly how it can be set up to meet the needs of women at this important stage in their lives.
