The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has published an impact report which focuses on how NICE’s evidence-based guidance contributes to improvements in maternity and neonatal care services.
These improvements include a 65% decrease in neonatal admissions and a 60% decrease in emergency caesarean section rates, between 2016 and 2019, after implementation of NICE quality standard on multiple pregnancies. Since publication of the first NICE maternity impact report, there has also been an increase of trusts providing women with high-throughput non invasive prenatal testing for fetal rhesus D genotype.
