Leading the development of an ECV service.
This article has identified an area of practice that needed to be developed. Despite the service being a medical procedure, it fitted into the remit of my role. The findings provide a well-established with improving ECV clinical skills. The drive now will be to review the way women receive information about ECV (or ensure that they have the opportunity for a vaginal breech birth, if this is their choice). There is also the need to improve the chance of a vaginal birth following successful ECV. This initiative demonstrates a multidisciplinary team approach, working together to provide a service, which has been found to be safe and, above all, evaluated favourably by women.
