Great to see the @NIHRresearch @OxfordBRC translated into the NHS in England to help ensure pregnant women’s complications are identified and treated earlier
A new Maternity Early Warning Score (MEWS) to be rolled out across the NHS. Derived from real data from >1000 pregnancies, it used statistical modelling to set appropriate thresholds for vital signs, reducing unnecessary alerts. https://t.co/30UNO85WFC
