Training for professionals, enabling you to safely support parents and families through pregnancy loss or the death of their baby
Since then the charity has evolved a great deal but these two core aims remain at the heart of our work. Listening to and learning from parents is a valuable and rare learning opportunity, which is why all our training events include the voice of bereaved parents.
Over the years we have gathered evidence from parents, health professionals and researchers on how to safely support families when a baby dies and what can be done to save babies lives in the future. With this evidence we’ve created a package of training and tools to help professionals offer the best possible care and support.
Sands training is fully accredited and available across the UK. Our training is delivered by specialist facilitators and the resources are regularly updated to reflect emerging research, new guidelines and evolving clinical practice.
No level of care can remove parent’s pain and grief however high quality care can have a huge impact on their wellbeing, in the short-term and for the rest of their lives. Training offers the opportunity to learn how to offer safe, effective care when a baby dies.
It is common to feel unprepared and daunted when it comes to bereavement care, this is where training can help. Specialist training helps boost confidence and skills enabling professionals to provide excellent care whilst also looking after their own wellbeing.
Maternity safety guidelines continually evolve as new data and research emerge, our training helps busy healthcare professionals stay abreast of new developments and offers the opportunity to reflect on areas for improvements in practice.
When workplaces acknowledge and empower bereaved colleagues their mental and physical wellbeing is improved. Our Training can help you support bereaved colleagues so that they can thrive at work even as they live with their grief.
Regulatory bodies across the UK promote training and continual professional development to ensure staff are equipped to practice safely and effectively. Investing in employee development not only improves practice but also helps staff feel valued and respected.
