'Whilst the demands and pressures on the NHS are high the wellbeing of you and your baby is absolutely everyones priority'
The NHS has been there to look after us since the moment we were born. And on that very special day when you give birth to your baby, the incredible NHS nurses, midwives and doctors will be beside you every step of the way. If you’ve switched on the news or read the headlines in the past few months, you’ll know it’s no secret that the NHS is in crisis, and our maternity units are some of the hardest hit.
Sadly and very tragically, mistakes have happened as a result of the pressure that our midwives are under. Recent data from the ONS confirmed that in 2021, the overall rate of stillbirths increased in England and Wales, following a long period where it declined every year. While the NHS continues to suffer, these figures will not improve, and action needs to be taken.
In a recent interview with ITV, midwife Katrina Cotterrall expressed her personal conflict about making the very difficult decision to go from being an NHS midwife to the private sector. She went on to explain how some families are making huge financial sacrifices to pay for a private midwife as they don’t feel they can get the level of care they need in the NHS.
