Reduction of pre-term births is a new element in the Saving Babies Lives’ Care Bundle version 2. The aim of this element is to reduce the number of pre-term births and to optimise care when pre term birth cannot be prevented. The establishment of pre-term birth clinics is outlined in the Care Bundle and has been widely promoted across all Local Maternity Systems, provider trusts and clinical networks.
