Tongue Tie Assessment and Diagnosis

The request was successful.

Dear Wye Valley NHS Trust,
Do Midwives use The Bristol Tongue-tie Assessment Tool? If No please state the assessment used.

Please confirm which staff perform the assessment. For example, a midwife or a doctor?

Is it a specialist midwife or a junior doctor at the Newborn and Infant Physical Examination (NIPE) assessment?

Does your trust provide a tongue-tie service? If yes please state what this consists of eg outpatient/day case clinic and how many staff and their job designation/band. -
If No - do staff advise parents to speak to their GP or Health visitor?

What improvements have been made in offering parents support on tongue tie in the past 18 months as a result of patient feedback?

Please provide an example and include the source of the original feedback eg National Maternity Survey, Complaint, PALS, FFT.

Does your trust have Baby Friendly Initiative (UNICEF and WHO accreditation?

Yours faithfully,

Mrs Susan Pickup
