Stillbirth

The stillbirth pathway has been written by Sands in association with its NBCP Core Partners. It was most recently updated in September 2025.

Stillbirth Bereavement Care Pathway

This document has been prepared to assist all healthcare professionals and staff who are involved in the care of parents of a stillborn baby.

Two versions are available here – a longer document with much greater detail and a quick reference document which contains the same sections but in less detail.

These pathways were updated for use in England in September 2025. Please disregard previous versions.
