Insight to innovation – A Quality Management Systems (QMS) approach to safer perinatal care

The webinar aligned with World Patient Safety Day on Wednesday 17 September. The theme for World Patient Safety Day was “Safe care for every newborn and every child”

This webinar was for staff working in maternity and neonatal services, and those looking to learn more about Quality Management Systems in action.

The webinar looked at Scotland’s evolving approach to perinatal safety through a quality management lens. The session offered an opportunity to:

• hear about our first year of maternity inspections and the development of national standards
• explore learning from emerging perinatal safety intelligence and improvement design
• hear from leads shaping the quality management approach
• contribute to a shared vision for safer, more equitable maternity care across Scotland

The aim of our webinar was:

• aligning the HIS Perinatal Quality Management System (QMS) with World Patient Safety Day 2025 – Patient Safety from the Start!
• promoting an understanding of the HIS Perinatal QMS.
• building an environment of collaboration between perinatal stakeholders.
