National maternity review: Accountability and patient safety

In this episode, Hannah Travis, Senior Associate in our Women’s Health team, is joined by Claudia Hillemand, Head of Child Brain Injury, and Olivia Boschat, Associate in the Women’s Health team.

Together, they dive into the national maternity investigation chaired by Baroness Amos. The discussion explores:

• What this latest review means for families and healthcare providers
• Reflections on previous investigations and whether lessons have truly been learned.
• The approaches being taken to address persistent failings in maternity care.

This is an important conversation for anyone concerned about patient safety, accountability, and the future of maternity services in the UK.
