Safer Care Victoria is pleased to be able to provide 11 educational videos to support postpartum haemorrhage (or PPH) management and improvement initiatives in reducing the incidence of PPH.  These videos cover a broad range of topics from implementation of quantified blood loss measurement (QBL), pharmacological management and escalation of PPH and consumer engagement and support.  The videos are short presentations which can be utilised individually for specific aspects of PPH or collectively to support broader improvement efforts. We are certain that you will find the content informative and supportive of your local improvement efforts within the PPH space.
