Summary
A BAPM Framework for Practice setting out national care principles for congenital diaphragmatic hernia, developed in response to the 2014 MBRRACE-UK confidential enquiry, which found wide variation in care. Produced by a group representing relevant UK specialty organisations and stakeholders, it covers care from first suspicion of the diagnosis through to discharge, follow-up or death. It identifies principles of care for affected pregnancies and babies and the organisational changes needed to deliver consistent, high-quality care across UK centres.
