Abstract

Childbearing women and newborn babies are susceptible to infections. These can be a serious risk to their health and wellbeing, by altering the course of pregnancy, delaying recovery from childbirth, leading to longstanding morbidity or even causing death. Sepsis is a severe complication of infection that can rapidly lead to death of an infant or woman. Maternity support workers are well placed to recognise the signs of infection and help improve outcomes and prevent this serious complication.
