| Project description
|
Audit has been identified as an effective way of identifying solvable clinical problems that impact on outcomes. However, few midwives in Sub-Saharan Africa have the skills to conduct such audits. The goal of the project was to roll out and sustain effective clinical audit processes which will lead to improvements in the quality of maternity care. This project will build on previous experience by strengthening capacity to conduct clinical audit among midwives in Uganda and Tanzania. Importantly, the project will develop the leadership skills of Lugina Africa Midwives Research Network (LAMRN) midwives in Uganda who will offer mentoring to LAMRN midwives in Tanzania. It is envisaged that LAMRN Uganda’s role in this project will ideally position them to sustain a future programme of clinical audits, without requiring UK support.
