Whether it considers that the use of growth scans and Doppler ultrasound scans could reduce the stillbirth rate.

The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) guideline on antenatal care for routine pregnancies advises that routine Doppler ultrasound should not be used in low-risk pregnancies. A recent Cochrane review (2015) found that there is no conclusive evidence of health benefits to mother or baby to support the use of routine Doppler ultrasound scans for low risk or unselected pregnant women. NICE continues to assess studies and evidence which are published in this area with a view to keeping advice on use of scans in pregnancy up to date. Scottish Government has no plans to offer Doppler scans to all pregnant women.
