Launching the latest clinical practice guidelines in Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Congratulations to all involved in the launch of the latest clinical practice guidelines in obstetrics and gynaecology on 6 June at the Department of Health. 

The guidelines are a programme of work agreed between the National Women and Infants Health Programme and the Institute of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists at the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland. They provide up-to-date evidence-based clinical recommendations for the care of women in maternity and gynaecology services, and promote a standardised approach to care across the country. 

The newly launched guidelines include:

• In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
• First Trimester Miscarriage
• Assessment and Management of Endometriosis
• Fetal Growth Restriction – Recognition, Diagnosis and Management
• Assisted Vaginal Birth
• Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring   
• Intrapartum Care for Women on the Supported Care Pathway
