A clinical audit was undertaken before and after the introduction of a five‐minute video presentation as an adjunct to the clinical consultation in the setting of ruptured membranes at term. The video framed clinical information using an INFORM structure: providing I nformation, F acts, O ptions, R easons, M eaning. Subsequently, women were more likely to report that information was unbiased, based on facts and evidence that they were involved in the decision‐making and overall satisfied with the information provided.
