A similar concern from this report was raised again 1 time later. See the linked reports.
The coroner's concerns
1. lack of national guidelines for antenatal CTG interpretation
“Whilst Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust has now established its own local guidelines based upon recent research conducted in Bristol, there are no national guidelines on how to interpret and/or classify antenatal (as opposed to intra-partum) CTG tracings.”
2. inadequate staff adherence to interpreting policy
“The dissemination, application and applicability of the Trust's Interpreting Policy, by its staff, in force at the material time (with particular regard to the obtaining of informed consent).”
