Important Clinical Information These reference cards have been developed using relevant UK guidance, including NICE, NHS England and the British Association of Perinatal Medicine (BAPM). Clinical guidelines, observation charts, escalation procedures and blood collection tube colours may vary between NHS trusts and healthcare organisations. These cards are intended as quick reference learning aids and should not replace clinical judgement, local policies or current national guidance. Always check your organisation’s latest guidelines before applying the information in clinical practice.
