Christian WrightChristian WrightNurse & Midwife, Maternal Health Researcher and Educator, Member at Clinical Council NT PHN & Advisory Panel, Australasian Birth Trauma Association

Christian Wright is a nurse and midwife, maternal health researcher and educator, Clinical Council member to Northern Territory Primary Health Network, and Advisory Panel member to the Australasian Birth Trauma Association. Christian has a rich understanding of complexities of care across a diversity of cultures, with a scope of practice experience which includes metropolitan Emergency Departments and Birth Centres, Public Health and Disaster Teams, as well as isolated communities across Papua New Guinea and Arnhem Land Australia. As his presence would have been traditionally considered a cultural taboo in some of these remote places, Christian has learned to navigate and iterate his midwifery practice in response to maternal and community needs, both as a male in sacred Indigenous birthing spaces and as a clinician in rural and resource scarce environments. Listening to and advocating for the experience and voice of remote women, their partners, and their families, has become a rewarding focus of Christian's work and published research.

Description

PANEL | Informed consent and shared decision-making • How to navigate the balance between informed consent and the duty to act in the best interest of the patient, especially if a fetus is at risk and a patient declines intervention? • What to do when families come in with rigid birth plans that don’t follow accepted practice or withdraw consent at the last minute? • Can cultural and linguistic barriers impact the informed consent process, how can we address these challenges? • How can the risks and benefits of obstetric interventions be effectively communicated?
