Our project, the LOVE study, explores whether the way information is delivered to expectant parents – either through a short video or a pamphlet – affects how much fear of childbirth they feel and how confident they are in understanding their options for pain relief during labour.

Seeking the patient perspective doesn’t have to be complicated; it simply entails a commitment to ask and listen. Patient advisors not only bring a valuable perspective but also share original ideas and unique skills. Including the patient and family perspective changes the conversation and aligns the team’s focus towards common goals.
