Harry's Story website

Summary

Harry's Story is a website set up by Derek Richford, the grandfather of Harry Richford, who died in November 2017 at just a week old following failures in care during and after his birth. The site outlines how Harry's family worked tirelessly to uncover what happened to Harry and the poor standard of care at the maternity unit at East Kent University Hospitals Foundation Trust (EKUHFT).

It covers the following aspects of the family's experience:

• Our Investigation

The site also contains a section offering advice for parents whose babies die or suffer harm in hospital during the perinatal period.
