New guidance to reduce epidurals and to achieve a CS target rate of 20% is apparently being issued by the RCM, RCOG and the NCT.
I'm try to find the original source to be able to read exactly what is proposed, but this is my source at the moment (its a pdf) www.electivecesarean.com/images//12-aug-24%20rcog%20ccg%20press%20release%20final.pdf
On the face of it, I'm utterly appalled by this. It seems to be in direct opposition to what NICE, NHSLA and others are saying. And the trouble with targets is they completely neglect individual care, and create a conflict of interests for doctors & midwifes - and ultimately put woman last.
Has anyone else heard about this/got a better source to confirm EXACTLY whats been said before I get too upset about it?
I'm damn sure this is going to upset a few people here...
