Iona gave an excellent presentation discussing the TEA (Tool for emotional assessment), which she devised and developed.   Iona recognised that whilst physical wellbeing is regularly assessed throughout labour, emotional wellbeing is often neglected. This can result in women having negative feelings about their experiences and feelings of disempowerment. There is also evidence that this affects whether or not a woman has a normal birth.    The TEA  provides a visual aid for women to indicate how they are feeling and offers suggestions for the midwife of supportive interventions to ensure the labouring woman feels safe, in control and supported throughout.           Angus units 2013-03-17 http://www.birthinangus.org.uk/index/news-app/story.233/title.exciting-news- Every year the midwives in Montrose host a student study day.
