National Bereavement Care Pathway

The National Bereavement Care Pathway (NBCP) is an improvement programme developed to ensure that all bereaved parents and families receive consistently high-quality, compassionate and personalised care.

Here you’ll find the evidence-based information and resources you need to care for families following pregnancy loss or the death of a baby.

About the NBCP

By combining practical guidance for professionals delivering bereavement care to parents and families with standards of care, culture and behaviour, NBCP ensures that every family receives personalised, compassionate support, whether through access to bereavement rooms, memory-making opportunities, or referral to timely emotional and psychological care.
