The GAP clinical team have in recent weeks been receiving an increasing number of requests for advice from non-GAP NHS Trusts reviewing their stillbirths. We have also been contacted by bereaved parents, looking for answers. Sadly, many of these deaths appeared to have been
potentially avoidable. There was a recurrent theme that fetal growth restriction had not been recognised with the growth chart in use locally.

We arranged a Webinar for clinicians from GAP and non-GAP units to raise awareness. The invite with background is available here.​

The webinar, held on 16 April 2025, had over 200 registrations from 70+ Trusts. It was not recorded, so as to encourage free discussion.
Following multiple requests for the slides, we made a post-webinar recording.
