Abstract
The purpose of developing this pathway of care is to: (1) Enable clinical staff to deliver consistent, high quality ongoing care for families electing to continue or terminate pregnancy with a fetus with a life-limiting condition/fatal fetal anomaly or potential life limiting condition, and (2) Ensure uniform standards of care wherever families are cared for in Ireland. This pathway deals with termination of pregnancy where there are prenatally diagnosed fatal fetal anomalies or lifelimiting conditions in singleton or multiple pregnancies.
