Welcome to the Scottish Perinatal Network Newsletter – here is Issue 34 covering our news and actions for the month of August 2023.
We actually held off publishing this edition until early September, because we were crossing our fingers that by holding off we could introduce a brand new pathway!
The Remote & Rural Transport Working Group, under the oversight of the SPN Transport Group, have worked hard and developed a pathway relating to the transfers from CMU’s to CLU’s in Extreme Obstetric Emergencies. Following several rounds of feedback it was ratified at the SPN Oversight Board. It is available via the Guidance section on this website.
Aside from that, in this issue you can read about the following:
