Hello everyone.
My trust is currently looking at changing the Opiate that is given in labour
from Pethidine to Diamorphine; as we seem to be one of the last UK trusts to
do this, I was wondering if anyone could give any advice on how to instigate
the change?
Is there any research regarding the benefits of one over the other?
Has anyone regretted the change?
Was there any resistance, from staff or pharmacy?
Has there been any supply problems?
Many thanks for your help, and wishing everyone a happy Easter and Passover.
Regards
James Harris
