This presentation will introduce you to the work being done to determine if it is feasible to deliver a randomized controlled trial of OptiBreech Care, which is a programme of care based on physiological breech birth research and practice. You will be introduced to the background for this work and the results to date. A significant portion of the presentation will focus on our qualitative work with women and midwives participating in the study, as part of our implementation process evaluation. Our combined quantitative and qualitative data indicate that breech birth active sites have implemented services through a dedicated clinic and/or a proficient intrapartum support service, organized and provided primarily by a Breech Specialist Midwife. While we identified challenges, this model has achieved >90% fidelity to the intervention’s goal of ensuring trained, proficient attendance at vaginal breech births, and it is highly acceptable to women.
Learning Objectives:
1.Describe an organizational model for a dedicated breech clinic.
2. Describe some of the roles that Breech Specialist Midwives fulfill within the UK National Health Service.
3. Identify the 3 main needs of women who require care for breech presentation at the end of their pregnancies.
