The South East Coast Normalising Birth programme focuses on developing ways of working within delivery units to encourage normal birth for all women. Increasing normal birth rates has a direct effect on mothers; they are more mobile after birth, able to bond quicker with their babies and have higher breastfeeding rates than those who undergo caesarean births. Data on crude caesarean rates are currently collected in most units which often only indicate that a caesarean was an elective or an emergency. Crucial to promoting normal birth is being able to target specific clinical groups of women who have undergone caesarean sections. By monitoring these groups by trust and identifying which require most scrutiny, the data can be used both within individual units and across the SHA to identify clinical variation, find reasons for this variation, share challenges and solutions and learn from units undertaking best practice. The Normalising Birth dashboard supports delivery of the programme by presenting complex clinical data in a way that is simple to understand, and benchmarking results to enable spread of best practice.
