Summary

This study tests whether a simple checklist can help general practitioners (GPs) better diagnose developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in babies during routine 6-week checkups. About 172 GP practices in England will be split into two groups: one using the checklist and one continuing usual care. The goal is to see if the checklist reduces missed cases and unnecessary referrals, saving families and the NHS time and money.
