The OASI Care Bundle Project

OASI Care Bundle logo This scaling up programme was a collaboration between the RCOG, Croydon Health Services NHS Trust, the RCM and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), with funding provided by The Health Foundation.

RCOG / RCM statement of support

The RCOG and RCM would like to encourage all healthcare professionals to adopt the care bundle into their practice to improve health outcomes for women.

Formal implementation of the care bundle in the 16 participating units ended in April 2018. The OASI Care Bundle team subsequently evaluated the merits of the programme and their evaluation papers were published in 2020.

Note: the qualitative evaluation of women’s perspectives will be published in autumn 2020.
