Article summary

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has announced the launch of a new NHS programme aimed at reducing brain injury in childbirth. The initiative, which has been received £7.8m in government funding, will provide the necessary training to maternity staff, specifically in England, for the pilot programme. They will be trained to help reduce avoidable brain injury in childbirth and better identify signs that the baby is showing distress during labour so that they can act quickly. The programme will enable staff to deal with important obstetric emergencies.
