Re: Group B Strep Support
I'm just suprised, because in my unit it is a completely standard part of postnatal ward handover if a woman is GBS+ve (i.e. the fact that she is GBS+ve, any other risk factor, did she have IV antibiotic cover in labour, and 4-hourly baby obs for 12 hours, how many obs done, how many still to do, when due). So, I'm suprised anyone could get through a postnatal ward placement without knowing about GBS unless prevelance/detection of GBS was very low in your area.
Not intended to be condescending, just an expression of suprise.
