Where does the withdrawal of national service development funding for maternity initiatives leave us?

Evaluation of changes underpinned by robust data are essential to ensure improvements in maternity safety, writes @marianknight.bsky.social

It's superstats Thursday - so the PMRT annual report is also released. It shows an increase in the proportion of reviews with an external member present to provide an independent and robust view of the care given. Useful graphic showing the full team needed for reviews https://buff.ly/3RQqGVj.

🔔 Our new publication is now available!

➡️ Multicomponent interventions improve #perinatal outcomes for migrant women and their infants

➡️ Removing financial barriers to care may improve perinatal outcomes and be #cost saving to #healthcare systems.

Access here: www.thelancet.com/journals/ecl...
Public health, policy, and clinical interventions to improve perinatal care for migrant women and infants in high-income countries: a systematic review
The findings suggest that multicomponent interventions comprising multidisciplinary teams, in-person interpreting, maternal education, and social welfare support can improve perinatal outcomes for migrant women and their infants. Removing financial barriers to care may improve perinatal outcomes and be cost saving to healthcare systems. However, these findings should be interpreted with caution given that most included studies were of poor quality and that sensitivity analysis restricting to interventional studies only did not demonstrate any effect on the main outcomes of interest.
