Title:

Saving Babies' Lives (SBL)

Description:

The Saving Babies’ Lives e-learning programme has been developed to support the delivery of the Saving Babies’ Lives Care Bundle Version Two (SBLCBv2) in maternity units across the NHS. SBLCBv2 has been produced to build on the achievements of version one and address the issues identified in the SPiRE evaluation. It aims to provide detailed information for providers and commissioners of maternity care on how to reduce perinatal mortality across England. The second version of the care bundle brings together five elements of care that are widely recognised as evidence-based and/or best practice, these are:
• Reducing smoking in pregnancy
• Risk assessment, prevention and surveillance of pregnancies at risk of fetal growth restriction (FGR)
• Raising awareness of reduced fetal movement (RFM)
• Effective fetal monitoring during labour
• Reducing preterm birth

The programme is aimed at midwives and obstetricians.

Learners will benefit through improved midwifery and obstetric knowledge and skills to undertake implementation of each element of the Saving Babies’ Lives Care Bundle Version Two, improving safety for women and their babies across England.
