Medical negligence lawyers support families in maternity negligence claims involving Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust
Last year, the CQC identified cases involving failings to monitor and interpret the heart rate of babies, resulting in harm or death. It rated both the Queen's Medical Centre and Nottingham City Hospital as "inadequate", and identified serious concerns, including reporting that between July and September 2020, 488 incidents in maternity were recorded at the Trust, including the deaths of mother and babies.
Between 2010 and 2020, 46 babies suffered brain damage and 19 were stillborn according to an investigation jointly performed by Channel 4 News and the Independent. In 2021, a new inquiry was launched to investigate maternity care at the Trust going back as far as 2006, with a number of affected families having been invited to share their concerns.
