The goal of the Deeper Dive Series is to offer a more robust and detailed discussion with (3) 1-hour webinars over the course of (3) weeks. With this format, participants will receive in depth instruction in this challenging subject area and have the added benefit of multiple presenters building upon information from previous sessions. Up to 3 CE credits are available for Nurses and Social Workers for the 3 webinars.
Webinar Dates and Titles (October 3, October 10, October 17, 2025)
Webinar 1 - Critical Ethical & Relationship Considerations in Perinatal Palliative Care
Webinar 2 - Periviable Birth: Integrating Neonatology, Ethics, and Palliative Care at the Limits of Viability
Webinar 3 - Prognostic Uncertainty in the Neonatal Period
Critical Ethical & Relationship Considerations in Perinatal Palliative Care - Dr. Brian Carter
Brief Description:
Perinatal palliative care (PnPC) consultation requires attention to the unique phenomena of pregnancy among human experiences. While helping to address clinical matters, the PnPC consultant must establish trust and assure the family that they will be present along the continuum of care needs and locations for the mother, baby, and multiple caregivers across diverse care environments – upholding the palliative care goals of accompaniment and bearing witness.
Learning Objectives:
Periviable Birth: Integrating Neonatology, Ethics, and Palliative Care at the Limits of Viability - Dr. Christopher Collura
Brief Description:
This webinar will review the current state of periviable birth including survival and neurodevelopmental outcomes, practice variability, and the anticipated neonatal intensive care for these infants. It will highlight historical and current ethical controversies in navigating the grey zone of viability including the potential for new treatments including the artificial womb. Opportunities for pediatric palliative care in the support of pregnant women, families, and the care team navigating periviable birth will be considered. It will highlight communication strategies to support shared decision-making and compassionate care for families facing uncertainty.
Learning Objectives:
Prognostic Uncertainty in the Neonatal Period - Dr. Robert Macauley
Brief Description:
Prognostication in the neonatal period can be especially challenging. Gestational age may be uncertain, and even when it is not, there exists a wide range of possible outcomes. Some findings long thought to be predictive (such as intraventricular hemorrhage) are now viewed with greater skepticism. And tools frequently applied in adult medicine (such as the Palliative Performance Scale) have minimal applicability when all babies—not just those with serious illness—require significant support. Yet claiming “not to have a crystal ball” provides parents scant support in decision-making, especially when a “window of opportunity” may be closing to make pivotal decisions. This webinar will equip learners with tools and perspective to prognosticate appropriately and helpfully for their neonatal patients.
