The Report was commissioned in response to the investigation into the high rate of maternal deaths between 2002 and 2005 at Northwick Park Hospital. The commission was highly critical of maternity services at this unit and identified common factors which they felt resulted in substandard care. It is absolutely essential that we all read this report and ensure we are aware of the key recommendations. It is highly likely that you could be asked about this in one way or another in the OSCE but even if you are not it is an invaluable document. The RCOG, aware of the issues at this Trust and the HCC investigation, actually held a Study Group called “Safe Maternity Care” in April of this year. The key points from this Study Day and those of the HCC report will be discussed at a Multi-disciplinary Open Meeting on the 23rd November at the College.

So download a copy of the HCC's Report and get reading! _________________ "Teale Fenning Medical Education" delivering evidence-based, exam-orientated learning since 1997 Last edited by Nick Raine-Fenning on Tue Sep 19, 2006 10:43 am; edited 2 times in total Back to top Nick Raine-Fenning Course Director Joined: 27 May 2006 Posts: 1852 Location: Nottingham Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2006 10:38 am    Post subject: Suggestion ...
