The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) recently launched a public consultation on the draft of a new leaflet which they plan to launch alongside the new NICE Caesarean guideline. The leaflet is intended for those considering a caesarean and who have not been offered one for a medical indication and the draft can be found here.
AIMS took part in this consultation by providing feedback. Our feedback on each of these leaflet can be accessed here.
AIMS also submitted comments on the NICE Caesarean Guideline and more details can be found here.
We hope that this page is of interest, especially to our colleagues in the maternity services improvement community.
