Abstract
Supporting students and qualified staff to provide care during perinatal bereavement is a challenge. In UK culture, death remains a taboo, while the death of a child is considered even more difficult to come to terms with. Conversely, pregnancy loss is often minimised. Bringing the expertise of experience to bear as part of educational approaches to supporting learners ensures that perinatal loss is viewed as a human life event, not simply a theoretical or clinical practice issue.
