Antenatal booking appointments
Gestational age at booking appointment
At the booking appointment, the woman will be given information relating to the baby's development stages, nutrition and screening tests available.
NICE recommends that this appointment should ideally take place before 10 weeks' gestation.
62% of booking appointments were at or before 10 weeks' gestation.
Booking after more than 20 weeks of pregnancy accounted for 8% per cent of booking appointments.
Complex social factors
12% of women attending a booking appointment had complex social factors recorded
Women with complex social factors may need additional support to use antenatal care services. 6,745 women attending a booking appointment had complex social factors recorded and 43,130 had a recording of no complex social factors. The remaining women did not have a complex social factor recorded.
Personalised care
The NHS Long Term Plan and the accompanying guidance, Universal Personalised Care, made commitments to delivering choice and personalisation in maternity services, complimenting the recommendations in the national maternity review, Better Births
When a Personalised Care and Support Plan (PCSP) has been agreed, this should be recorded and submitted.
116 trusts have reported that PCSPs are in place for a total of 73,990 women. This is 1 more trust than in the previous month.
Administrative Sources
Maternity Services Data Set (MSDS): this is a patient-level data set that captures information about activity carried out by Maternity Services relating to a mother and baby(s), from the point of the first booking appointment until mother and baby(s) are discharged from maternity services. This is a secondary uses data set, which re-uses clinical and operational data for purposes other than direct patient care.
