    Abstract
    In 2016, a service needs analysis identified the need for an alternative pathway to provide care for women with pre-existing medical problems, raised BMI and those wishing to have a vaginal birth after CS.The Irish National Maternity Strategy helped validate the need for an advanced practice service in Sligo choice and continuity for women out with traditional midwife led care inclusion criteria. The service has proven to be
    a safe and popular option with a high number of vaginal births, a lower CS
    rate, reduced number of interventions yet with no increase of adverse outcomes.
    This has been shown through ongoing review and service users’ feedback.-2017-155 (18%) AMP care. 82%
    vaginal birth (69% SUH). 18% CS (31% SUH)2018-226 (17%) AMP care. 79%
    vaginal birth (63% SUH). 21% CS (37% SUH)initial;2019-271 (20%) AMP care. 83%
