Safety recommendation
HSIB recommends that NHS England and NHS Improvement amends the ‘Saving Babies’ Lives care bundle version 2’ to remove specific references to Dawes-Redman and instead use a generic term such as ‘computerised cardiotocograph (CTG) analysis’.
Response:
We note that Dawes Redman criteria are only referenced once in the document and that is in the in the introductory section of the Care Bundle and not in the element section which describe the recommended pathways. We do however agree to make this change.
We will remove the specific reference to Dawes-Redman and instead use a generic term such as ‘computerised CTG analysis’. Timeline: March 2022.
