- The MANNERS Antenatal Screening Tool has been operational
and collecting data since April 2004 A demo version can be accessed
here (NHS Net connection only). All but two of the 20 West Midlands
maternity
units are now utilising this resource. They are therefore
already able to provide 18 of the 20 items required by the National
Screening Committee for audit purposes. A preliminary regional report
is expected in November 2004.

Protocol for secondary use of data
has been launched across the West Midlands. Following very positive
feedback from parents, BLISS and TAMBA, the Parent
Information Leaflet commenced distribution in May this year. The MANNERS Neonatal Team
will be carrying out an audit on the impact and use of the leaflet
at the end of this year.

- The preliminary report on MANNERS Neonatal Data was presented
to the members of the West Midlands Neonatal Forum in July, and demonstrated
the wealth of quality data which is being collected. The addition
of denominators provided important background information and is
now available from all but one of the neonatal
units in the West
Midlands. Preparations are underway for the first Annual Report,
due in December 2004.
