In maternity care, safety can depend on your postcode. Protocols vary trust by trust, not because the evidence is different, but because the paperwork is. That’s not choice. That’s risk. #MaternitySafety #PatientSafety #NHS #maternityinquiry
Safety concerns over maternity care are a national problem channel4.com/news/safety-co… via @AyshahTull Thank you so much James. You speak for many 1000s of bereaved parents. You spoke for me. The same issues affect maternity north of the border. It’s not just happening in England.
This is EXACTLY what happened to me in Edinburgh in 2013. Animals are treated with greater kindness than me and my baby were. Maternity services across the U.K. are utterly shambolic and have hit crisis point. Midwife led maternity care has self-imploded with disastrous effect.

"Maternal deaths rising in UK despite fewer births, official figures show" theguardian.com/society/2025/j…
Planned birth (both caesarean and IOL) at 39 weeks versus expectant management in low-risk women reduces perinatal mortality and other severe adverse outcomes. Strongest neonatal and maternal safety benefits seen with planned caesarean birth. thelancet.com/journals/eclin…
Corporate manslaughter investigation launched into baby deaths at NUH. nottinghampost.com/news/health/co…
“….significantly more admissions to NICU (12.6% vs. 7.9%) in the planned vaginal delivery group [term breech singletons] when compared to planned cesarean section.”
“….significantly more admissions to NICU (12.6% vs. 7.9%) in the planned vaginal delivery group [term breech singletons] when compared to planned cesarean section.”
🚨 Detectives launch corporate manslaughter investigation against Nottingham University Hospitals Trust which is facing the largest maternity safety inquiry in NHS history:
My baby died in Edinburgh for the same reason “A number of "gross failures of the most basic nature" and I don’t believe she was the only one. There will be other reasons but multiple missed opportunities to intervene is definitely a common theme in avoidable baby death in the UK

Notts Police 'Operation Perth' is investigating Nottingham's NHS maternity services - the latest development - is that the inquiry will examine if corporate manslaughter charges should be brought against the hospital trust. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
People will always make mistakes, but senior management who repeatedly ignore warnings, recommendations and fail to execute action plans should be prosecuted. Healthcare is the only high risk, high consequence sector which operates out with the law. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Rt: A corporate manslaughter investigation has been opened into failings that led to hundreds of babies dying or being injured at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.

They are absolutely right. Sadly nothing has changed in maternity care across the U.K. for 30 years. Shoddy care continues & it’s a national disgrace

I missed this article earlier this year. I also experienced lack of empathy, kindness, care, and suffered neglect at the hands of an entirely dysfunctional, disorganised, chaotic even so-called team of community midwives, consultants & radiographers at NHS Lothian in 2013.
bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… Saddened and angry that the maternity unit at Scotland’s major hospital in the capital & Lothian maternity services are still causing significant harm to mothers and babies nearly 12 years after my darling girl’s avoidable full term stillbirth
WE NEED IMMEDIATE CHANGE. YES I’M ANGRY BUT WE’VE GOT TO WORK TOGETHER. I WANT THE FOCUS TO BE ON DELIVERING YOUR BABY IN THE HEALTHIEST CONDITION POSSIBLE NOT ON BIRTH EXPERIENCE OR MODE OF DELIVERY, WE NEED TO EDUCATE, RESEARCH & WORK TOGETHER
I’m utterly sick of the inferior maternity services in the U.K. the same avoidable baby deaths & near miss incidents causing lifelong harm year after year (most recently Nottingham) & all because of the dogma within midwifery especially. The focus is all wrong. WHO WANTS CHANGE??
