Nottingham University Hospitals Trust battles to fill 70 midwife vacancies
In the wake of the Nottingham Hospital maternity scandal, the hospital is now trying to find 70 midwives to fill vacancies.
In recent years, concerns about staff shortages and patient safety has been raised, with staff even writing a letter to the trust board over their fears.
A spokesperson from the trust has said “We will endeavour to continue recruiting until all vacancies have been filled, and our staff will continue working tirelessly to improve services for local women and families.”
