    A police investigation into maternity services at two hospitals has started interviewing current and former members of staff. West Mercia Police began the inquiry in June 2020, while a review by senior midwife Donna Ockenden was ongoing - Ockenden would eventually find there had been catastrophic failings at the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust. The police investigation was set up to explore whether there was evidence to support a criminal case against the trust or any individuals involved. The hospital trust said it recognised it was important people get "the answers they have waited for" and that it was fully cooperating with police. The Ockenden inquiry examined maternity practices at Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust over a period of 20 years. Initially set up to examine 23 cases, it was widened to include almost 1,600 cases where there were concerns over maternity care. It found the failures may have led to the deaths of more than 200 babies, nine mothers and left other infants with life-changing injuries. Hundreds of the cases have been examined by police officers involved in Operation Lincoln. The senior officer in the police investigation, Supt Carl Moore, said the start of staff interviews represented a new phase. "We are committed to ensuring that the families involved are fully informed at each stage of our enquiries," he said. Read full story Source: BBC News, 19 June 2025

    This post is a transcript of an interview on Times Radio Breakfast on 7 September 2023 in which Dr Jane Somerville, Emeritus professor of cardiology at Imperial College, was asked if the Lucy Letby case has uncovered a problem of the difficulties doctors have of voicing their concerns in hospitals. In the interview, Dr Somerville refers to systemic persecution of NHS staff who speak up about patient safety. She goes on to identify the key issues of power; cover-up culture; suppression of complaints/concerns; career-ending reprisals against staff who speak up; and the almost universal failure of employment tribunals to protect whistleblowers.  RW: Rosie Wright (Times Radio presenter) JS: Dr Jane Somerville (Emeritus professor of cardiology, Imperial College) RW: One of the striking things about the Lucy Letby case was how doctors raised concerns but were told to, in effect, butt out by their managers. Now we know the Letby case was one-of-a-kind but a senior doctor has told The Times that the persecution of doctors who speak up is systemic. Here’s Jane Somerville, Emeritus Professor of Cardiology Imperial College and one of the country's most renowned consultants. Jane, thank you for your time – explain if you can. Management in hospitals. Why is it that you believe that they’re failing to listen to anyone working in the hospital who raises concerns? JS: Good morning, I think that the managers have power. I think they have a cover up culture which is very severe. I think they want to stop people complaining. And they like persecuting the doctors. So anybody who speaks up for safety of a patient – which is vital for a doctor to do – they will persecute. We don't know how often this occurs. We do know the outcomes in many patients. It is extremely serious. They lose their jobs. They lose their livelihood sometimes, and they are persecuted by the managers (which also include their chosen doctors). RW: Presumably you are speaking about this from experience, having witnessed it? JS: Oh yes I've witnessed it many times over the last four years since I've been interested in the problem rather than practising medicine. I’ve wanted to help them. I personally am involved in whistleblowing. I'm not a whistleblower – I escaped. I had plenty to talk about, but I didn't get involved as a whistleblower. Most whistleblowers that we know in Justice for Doctors have blown and have lost their jobs. It's a very serious problem. It's systemic in the National Health Service. It may not be in every trust – we don't know because they don't keep a record. It's a very serious problem because it ends up in the loss often of good consultants. Recently in the press there has been the loss of an obstetrician in Hampshire, a maxfax (maxillofacial surgeon) in Bath, a cardiologist in Saint Helier (a disastrous trust for this) and you know about all the dreadful goings on in maternity – I don't need to repeat that. It's really very serious, and the managers must be regulated – they are an unregulated bunch. RW: Jane, presumably when there is a problem there is a process in place for, let's say, a concerned doctor to be able to report it. What's wrong in that process do you think? JS: Well, the first thing is it doesn't work in many cases. I'm sure there are many where it does, but it doesn't work in serious cases. A cover up process from the top to the bottom – or from the middle upwards, we don't know where – continues until finally the doctor may find himself in an employment tribunal. And that’s another set of disasters – the judiciary within employment tribunals. They should never get to that is the first thing. And when they get to that, 97% are lost by the litigant, by the complainant. RW: The argument is great – changing culture and practice among trust managers and executives. RW: Jane, thank you so much for your time. Jane Somerville, a Professor of Cardiology at Imperial College. I must say that the paper (The Times) has reached out to the Department of Health and Social Care, and the Ministry of Justice for comments. For people reading online that story will be updated when we hear from them.

    In a new series for the hub, Martin will be interviewing healthcare professionals from various specialties to capture their experience and insight during the coronavirus pandemic. Learning from frontline staff is crucial, now more than ever. Prior to a predicted second wave hitting us, the government and leaders must listen to what has gone well but, most importantly, not so well for both staff and patients. Martin is a passionate nurse working on a covid unit and wants to promote learning to ensure patient and staff safety. This initially started as a way of connecting and not feeling alone but what Martin has found is that there are many voices that need and want to be heard but just don’t know how to speak up and out. In all of the interviews the healthcare professionals wanted to remain anonymous which is indicative of their fear of reprisals from their organisation. In this first interview, Martin interviews a new student district nurse who has been working within the community in the South West. Their role involves supporting care homes with end of life care and assisting in keeping people with long term conditions at home.
