Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Increasingly, patients are keen to record aspects of their medical care, especially in obstetrics and paediatrics. The knowledge of patients and staff in relation to this area is thought to be variable. In addition, the attitudes of patients and staff regarding this practice has not been well studied. This study aims to gather information on patients' use of recording devices to capture audio recordings, photographs or videos. Furthermore it aims to assess patient and staff knowledge and attitudes in relation to this area.

This study will involve patients who have recently delivered a baby on the maternity unit or obstetric theatre completing a questionnaire. They will be approached by a study investigator and the study explained. They will then complete a consent form if they are happy to proceed. Following this they will complete the questionnaire.

It will also involve the surveying of staff, who will be approached by a study investigator when not directly involved in the clinical care of patients. They will also complete a consent form if they are happy to proceed and then complete the questionnaire.
