Learning

Through CO testing at every antenatal contact, a greater number of pregnant people are being referred to stop smoking services and seeing success in reducing their CO levels during pregnancy. This ultimately has improved overall public health as well as infant mortality and child health in the long term.

Staff have also become more productive in testing pregnant people and having conversations with them around raised CO levels during pregnancy and the impact this may have on themselves and their fetus.
