Data Collection

The Lead PMA maintains two separate databases. One lists themes of discussions and the other database lists the date and name of attendee. Feedback forms are given to maternity staff so that the Lead PMAs can collate information about how PMAs can improve the PMA support for YOU. The feedback remains anonymous.

The PMA Team support is a piece of a puzzle when supporting midwives and maternity support staff. Managers, Risk & Governance Team, Clinical Educators, PDM Team and other colleagues are available to support you too.

The PMA Team will ask for your feedback on the support you have been offered with deployment of the A-EQUIP Model: Quality Improvement Projects, Education & Development discussions, support with Action Plans, Restorative Clinical Supervision (RCS) support and signposting to well- being services. You will remain anonymous. Quotes or testimonials may be used for training purposes. Please do complete the feedback forms so that we can improve the PMA Service for maternity staff.

A midwife’s personal contribution to quality improvement may include:

 Opportunities where they have reflected, learned and taught others about their personal action for quality improvement

 Participation in audit and research and contribution to implementation of finds where appropriate

 Embedding learning from incidents in practice

 Contributing to service improvements made as a result of user feedback and staff feedback

 Addressing public health concerns that require feedback and reassurance to the public

 Facilitating the implementation of research findings, N.B. active contribution to a quality improvement activity does not need to be in a clinical setting
