Are you a bereavement lead working with staff in the #NHS to support families following pregnancy loss or the death of a baby?

Please help us understand what is happening on the ground in bereavement care.

Take our survey.

[Sands Insights @SandsInsights]

Today’s initial response from the Government to the independent review into maternity and neonatal services at East Kent NHS Trust falls far short of what is needed to ensure all maternity services are safe.

https://t.co/peRqpzx2dx

[Sands Insights @SandsInsights]

Data released today shows that rates of stillbirth and neonatal death are increasing, so that government targets to reduce them will not be met. Urgent and decisive action is needed now to tackle this.
