Safety spotlight: Late diagnosis of breech presentation
MNSI has completed a number of investigations where there has been a late diagnosis, in established labour, of a baby being in breech presentation during an induction of labour.
The Maternity and Newborn Safety Investigations programme is part of a national strategy to improve maternity safety across the NHS in England.

What we do
All NHS trusts are required to tell us about certain patient safety incidents that happen in maternity care. This is so that we can carry out an independent investigation and, where relevant, make safety recommendations to improve services at local level and across the whole maternity healthcare system in England. Throughout investigations we work closely with the families, NHS trusts and staff involved. We do not place blame on individuals or investigate individual members of NHS staff.
