Abstrakt: The third edition of the Sands (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Charity) Guidelines will be published in June 2007. This article discusses some of the issues that are covered. These are: ∎ The current debate about whether parents should see and hold their baby following a stillbirth or late miscarriage and the principle of choice ∎ The increased risk of perinatal mortality in some minority ethnic groups and the need to provide culturally sensitive care and professional interpreters ∎ The importance of recognizing and meeting the needs of bereaved fathers ∎ The Human Tissue Authority Codes of Practice and asking for consent for post mortem examination ∎ The experience of women having a mid-trimester miscarriage and whether they should be cared for in a gynaecology ward or a labour ward.
