Keith may I remind you as a Dr and as a human that we are talking about preventable harm and dead children. This is my beautiful full term healthy daughter dead. Alongside pot 2,500 families in Notts over 13 years. Pls be respectful to the harmed and dead.

Penny Dash's review of safety regulators like CQC and HSSIB and others will be published alongside the 10-Year Plan #NHSConfedExpo

I find this quite remarkable. The full board at a trust under intense scrutiny may not have known about the CQC warning notice for FIVE weeks. And the only public reference to it did not use the words "warning notice." hsj.co.uk/patient-safety…

Hmmm, I'm not sure you can seperate 'patient experience & effectiveness' from 'safety' -if care isn't safe, it's unlikely to be effective & more likely to result in a poor experience! I'm such Penny's message is more nuance -but we mustn't roll back on the drive for safer care.

100% deserved 👏 😊

Truly horrible news

A long afternoon taking my dad for a cardiology outpatients appointment at NHS Blackpool Teaching Hospitals 💙🌈 to check on his recovery following his bypass op (he is continuing to recover well) - extremely busy but faultless care & such caring & friendly staff 10/10 😊🙏

The idea that women need intervention in childbirth only because they don’t “trust their bodies” is dangerously simplistic and wrong. Birth is unpredictable, and the real concern for many isn’t a lack of trust in themselves — it’s the fear of being unsafe.

The same reasons women throughout time and cultures have rightly feared birth. What a stupid question. A good question would be: why do women in the UK still have to fear birth when they should be able to access safe obstetric care and reliable pain relief as a matter of course.

What is causing maternity services to delay and withhold medical care during birth... a factor implicated repeatedly in independent investigations into preventable baby deaths. Any ideas? 👀

Absolutely frightening - and as you say, this is what student midwives must be being indoctrinated in. A full review of midwifery education is badly needed.

There's lots of criticism of this in the replies/quotes, and rightly so. But my big question is what on earth are student midwives being taught, and why isn't Nursing and Midwifery Council regulating it properly? Surely lessons from previous maternity inquiries should run through the whole course?

Thrilled to see Peter Walsh awarded an MBE in the King’s Honours for his outstanding work in patient safety and justice. Truly well-deserved recognition! 👏 #PatientSafety

A huge storm overnight and the heavy rain the thunder continues to rumble... Something nice about being inside on a day like this… ☕️📚👾🍿🎞️

Thrilled to receive a copy of Can We Be Great Again? by Sir Jeremy Hunt MP, a colleague & friend I hugely admire. It’s fascinating, insightful & full of wisdom & optimism. Jeremy is someone who has strived to use politics to make the world a better place - this is a must read book.

Why is this deadly ideology still flourishing in midwifery eduction and practice? It is incomprehensible to me how, despite the harm, despite the evidence, despite the pleas of women and bereaved families - it still continues…. Wes Streeting Kate Brintworth Donna Ockenden FRSA, Hon DLitt Hon DSci
