Submit a Perinatal Event Notification

This service replaces current notifying portals and health and care professionals should use this service to:

  • Notify Maternity and Newborn Safety Investigations Special Health Authority (MNSI) of stillbirths, early neonatal deaths, severe brain injuries, and maternal deaths (while pregnant or within 42 days of the end of the pregnancy)
  • Notify NHS Resolution's Early Notification Scheme (NHSR) of potential severe brain injuries in term babies following labour (at least 37 completed weeks of gestation) who have had a potential severe hypoxic brain injury confirmed on an MRI scan. Babies who are born by elective caesarean section, and babies who have sadly died within the first week of life (0-6 days) will not be eligible for review under the EN Scheme
  • Notify Mothers and Babies: Reducing Risk through Audits and Confidential Enquiries (MBRRACE-UK) of late fetal losses, stillbirths, early neonatal deaths, late neonatal deaths, maternal deaths (whilst pregnant or within 42 days of the end of the pregnancy), and maternal deaths (between 42 and 365 days after pregnancy)
  • Notify your local Child Death Overview Panel (CDOP) through notification to MBRRACE-UK
