Tonight's BBC Panorama programme will shine a spotlight on the experiences of families affected by maternity care failures at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.
The Royal College of Midwives has highlighted concerns raised by staff whistleblowers about unsafe staffing levels, exhausted teams and services under significant pressure. These are issues that maternity professionals and families have been raising for years, and they reinforce the urgent need for safe staffing and a culture that listens, learns and acts.
At Tees, we have long been committed to improving maternity safety. Through our work supporting families affected by avoidable harm, campaigning for change, and publishing our maternity services Freedom of Information report on stillbirths and neonatal deaths, we have continued to highlight concerns around staffing, safety, transparency and accountability across maternity services.
Our Medical Negligence team continues to support families affected by failures in maternity care, helping them access answers, accountability and the support they need for the future.
Real change requires action, not just reflection.
