Details

This tool uses available data and evidence to model estimates of the possible effects of various factors on infant mortality and stillbirths in a local geographical area.

It can be used to:

• model what effect an improvement to benchmarks would have on an area
• understand how factors could influence stillbirth and infant death locally
• prioritise services and address risk factors

The tool is designed for planners and commissioners working in local government, clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and across local maternity systems.
