What's new in midwifery - 26th April 2023

A collection of new things that might be useful to know about:

NICE draft guidance on Intrapartum care for healthy women and babies, out for consultation, closing 6th June 2023.   Expected to be published in September.   

Umbrella review of interventions to reduce late onset sepsis in neonates (open access).

Medscape report of a trial running in Southampton of remote testing technology for gestational diabetes mellitus.

Guardian report of a woman who miscarried after 9 weeks being fined for claiming free prescriptions.   This made me aware of the maternity exemption certificate that midwives can register people for - something to follow up if you were not aware of it either!

A trial conducted in the USA of tranexamic acid to prevent haemorrhage after a caesarean.

Supporting publications for professionals involved in newborn blood spot screening, updated 14th April 2023.
