A Completed Cycle Audit of a Tongue-Tie Management Pathway for Newborns
The completed project confirms the effectiveness and appropriateness of the tongue-tie referral pathway, leading to more accurate referrals and higher intervention rates. Scope for improvement could include future updates of the proforma and providing further education to community referrers. Future reviews and integration with electronic systems and implementation of One Devon may enhance consistency and long-term sustainability.
