Avoidable harm to mothers and babies before, during and after childbirth, causes deep anguish and often lifelong trauma for families. It is also places a significant financial burden on public funds when claims are made.
Learning from past cases and implementing best practice is important so the funding offered to implement a new training programme is to be welcomed but does this go far enough?
I see repeated failures by NHS Trusts around the country to learn from past harm and sadly knowledge is not widely shared. To make a difference the government really needs to properly invest in this programme for it to make a meaningful difference.
