At a time when the NHS is struggling unprecedently, having been battling a pandemic for 18 months, one of the most concerning areas is the state of maternity services at trusts around the country.
It has been uncovered following recent investigations by the Independent newspaper's health correspondent Shaun Lintern that the scale of the problem is putting the lives of both mothers and babies at risk on a daily basis.
To explore the apparent crisis existing within our hospitals Shaun will be hosting a live panel discussion with maternity experts who have experience of the situation from within the NHS as well as elsewhere. The speakers will help explain what has gone so wrong, what impact it has had and what lasting effects there might be, as well as what the future holds and if the scandal has at least ensured improvements are now in place and our maternity services are becoming safer for all who use them.
The panel will include Donna Ockenden, the chair of Shrewsbury inquiry and Senior Midwifery Adviser, Gynaecologists president Edward Morris and James Titcombe, OBE and ambassador for charity Baby Lifeline; Associate Editor, Journal of Patient Safety and Risk Management and campaigner who helped expose poor care at University Hospitals Morecambe Bay Trust following the death of his son Joshua.
