This conferences focuses on the important issue of Saving Babies Lives: Reducing Stillbirth, and implementing the 2019 Version 2 of the Saving Babies Lives Care Bundle. The stillbirth rate in the UK is high relative to other similar European Countries, it has been demonstrated that the implementation of key interventions can lead to reductions in the stillbirth rate in line with the national ambition to reduce the number of stillbirths, neonatal deaths, maternal deaths and brain injuries that occur during or soon after birth by 50% by 2025 and by 20% by 2020.
“15 babies die every day in the UK before, during or shortly after birth. The rates of stillbirths have fallen a little in recent years, after decades of stagnation. But the number of babies dying remains too high and must fall faster: the rate of reduction in the UK is up to three times slower than other European countries; neonatal deaths have even risen slightly in the last two years.”

“Through the Long Term Plan, the NHS will accelerate action to achieve 50% reductions in stillbirth, maternal mortality, neonatal mortality and serious brain injury by 2025.”
