Recognising & Responding to Maternal Deterioration: Implementing MEWS

Wed, 13 Nov 2024

Virtual, Online

Follow the conference on X #maternityMEWS

Join us for an inspiring and informative conference that aims to support you and your team to recognise and respond to maternal deterioration, improving care for expectant mothers and their new-borns.

We will explore how MEWS, NEWTT2 and the Perinatal Optimisation Care Pathway have been adopted in organisations across the country and the impact we have seen in recognising and responding to deterioration in maternity care. Case studies will be used to review guidelines and protocols for sepsis management and postpartum haemorrhage, as well as strategies to train and educate frontline staff for effective communication across teams.

“The new National Maternity Early Warning Score tool will allow us to improve the quality and consistency in the identification of episodes of deterioration in the pregnant population. This is the first national tool for England and the first based on population data.”

NHS England, May 2024

“The resulting new MEWS is more accurate than the current tools, and will generate fewer false alerts. The new approach is being rolled out across the NHS in England and will help staff identify and respond to signs of deterioration in pregnant women. The paper version of the tool has been implemented in 16 units across the country. A digital version is nearly complete. The aim is that every organisation will have implemented MEWS across England by March 2026.”

National Institute for Health and Care Research, May 2024
