Show Notes
The worst maternity scandal in the history of the NHS shed light on the failures that lead to the deaths of 201 babies at Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust maternity ward.
During pregnancy and childbirth, individuals often place their trust in midwives and consultants. With this trust clearly breached, James asks listeners what their experiences have been at hospital during childbirth, and why they didn't, or wouldn't, complain if they felt something was wrong. What stopped people speaking out if they felt the advice or care they were given was unsuitable or unsatisfactory?
