Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Community midwifery teams were included in Trusts/ Units where membrane sweeping was felt not to be done according to NICE and Trust Guidance
  • 2\. Eligible women included all those who gave birth over 39\+3 weeks at BWNFT or BHH within the study period (March to November 2012\). Women were included who gave birth after 39\+3 weeks (rather than over 40 weeks) as it is plausible that women were not swept on exactly the correct day (i.e. 40 or 41 weeks), so a sweep from 39\+4 to 40\+3 was considered a sweep at 40 weeks, and 40\+4 to 41\+3 was considered a sweep at 41 weeks

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Community midwifery teams already undertaking membrane sweeping or women who were not eligible for membrane sweeping
  • 2\. Women were excluded if they were from outside the area or had an elective CS.
