The art of changing the VBAC culture: Campbelltown Hospital
WHA Improving Value in Healthcare
NSW towards Normal Birth (TNB) Policy (PD2010 045) identified a need to support women and health professionals in providing consistent and balanced information regarding vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC). Our VBAC journey commenced in 2013, where the leadership team wanted to shift attitudes towards supporting VBAC. A collaborative programme between midwives and obstetricians was developed with a separate antenatal schedule for women who had had a previous caesarean. The programme included a debriefing of the previous birth by obstetric staff, followed by two group information/support sessions conducted by a midwife. The group sessions encourage discussion between women and their midwife to decrease fears and provide consistent information, encouraging women to an informed decision. The programme aimed to shift the organisational culture to actively support and encourage, where appropriate, a VBAC birth. The results indicated the programme is extremely successful.

The CAHOOT Framework for Improving Life Trajectory of Priority Populations
Midwifery Group Practice
The first 2000 days are critical to physical, mental and social development and to optimising the life trajectory of women and their families. The Queensland Clinical Senate Meeting Report - The First 2000 days: The Opportunity of a Lifetime recommendations parallel the investment we have made in co-designing the CAHOOT Framework for Improving Life Trajectory of Priority Populations at a local level through collaboration and cross-sectoral partnerships. The CAHOOT Framework for Improving Life Trajectory of Priority Populations offers individual or collective opportunities to measure outcomes at five separate time points from preconception to age 5 years.

Increasing Mandatory Education and Enabling and Enthusing Staff
Clinical Educators
Having reached out to WHA Clinical Educators for discussion material, there was an overwhelming desire for WHA Clinical Educators to share their experiences on the increasing mandatory education of staff, and how to enable and enthuse staff to complete this in a timely manner, in accordance with snap accreditation and staff shortages. During this discussion piece, WHA Clinical Educators have an opportunity to share their innovative strategies and initiatives to empower their staff to meet their mandatory requirements within the required timeframe. Please join us for this meaningful discussion, information sharing and an opportunity to network with your national clinical educator peers.
