Acknowledgements
It is with sincere thanks and appreciation that the NPEC would like to acknowledge the many healthcare professionals who contribute to this NPEC audit on severe maternal morbidity (SMM). In particular, we extend our thanks to the unit co-ordinators who continue to co-ordinate the collection of data on SMM at unit level. This report would not have been possible without their dedicated support and co-operation. The on-going support of unit co-ordinators in collating data is highly commendable, particularly as many do so without protected time for clinical audit.
The NPEC would also like to acknowledge, with thanks, members of the NPEC Severe Maternal Morbidity Advisory Group for their guidance in the continual optimisation of the NPEC national clinical audit of severe maternal morbidity in Ireland.
Furthermore, we extend our thanks to the National Perinatal Epidemiology Centre’s Governance Committee for their support and intellectual input as the Centre continues to grow and evolve.
