WELCOME TO PERI HEALTH LTD

Our perineal suturing workshop is accredited by Royal College of Midwives and The CPD Certification Service. It is facilitated by an experienced Perineal Specialist Midwife. The course is specifically designed for midwives, student midwives and junior obstetricians in a friendly and relaxed environment. A hotel is purposely chosen as the venue, to take you away from the clinical environment. At Peri Health, we value your experience and aim to make it a positive one. We maintain small groups per session to ensure that high standards, adequate attention and support is provided during the practical session.You will be provided with a perineal simulator to practice suturing until you feel confident
with the skill. The simulator is an accurate life size anatomy with all the relevant landmarks.
It gives a realistic feedback of human tissue and has an open rectum for rectal examination after the repair.

Why perineal suturing training is important.

Around 85% of women who have a vaginal delivery will sustain perineal trauma, which occurs either spontaneously or as a result of episiotomy. In the United Kingdom, assessment and perineal suturing are procedures mainly undertaken by midwives, some of whom may not have received updated or adequate basic training. Identification, correct classification and the technique used to repair perineal injury are procedures that require knowledge and skills to ensure that the tissues involved are correctly aligned to facilitate healing and minimise postpartum morbidity.

The NHS Litigation Authority report (2012) shows a rise in negligence claims associated with poorly assessed and poorly repaired perineal trauma. The total value of those claims and legal cost was estimated to be 31.2 million.

Peri Health is here to enable you to improve on your perineal assessment and suturing skills based on current evidence to minimise post-partum morbidity.
