Sadie, When writing a policy it may be easier to look at it from the point of view that if there is no evidence to support an intervention then it shouldn't be done, put the ball back in the court of those who think this is necessary and ask them to provide evidence to support this. If this doesn't work then you could try having half the women having there urine measured and half not and comparing outcomes for a period of time. Just make sure the midwives don't think this means they don't check at all on the women who are not having measurements done. I know that sounds silly but I speak from experience.

I have managed to pull some research from MIDIRS, but I'm at a loss as how to proceed with writing a policy. Will battle on though, luv Sadie _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
