NHS Quality Improvement Scotland published clinical standards for maternity services in Scotland in March 2005. A Scotland-wide review of performance against these standards has now been carried out and a National overview and local reports for each NHS board area were published in January 2007.
During this review process, a number of local initiatives were identified as good practice for sharing.
These initiatives can be accessed below by QIS Standard:
- Standard 1 – Core Principles
- Standard 2 – Pre-conception and very early pregnancy
- Standard 3 – Pregnancy
- Standard 4 – Childbirth
- Standard 5 – Postnatal and parenthood
A booklet containing all the local initiatives can be downloaded here:
