Thank you for all the love, shares, comments, likes and messages. When I have a surge on my social media my inbox fills with stories. I can’t reply to everyone as it’s only me. But I am truly grateful for this platform and all of you who stand beside midwives.

Still trending on x 22 hours later. We will be heard.

I’m calling @YvetteCooperMP @andyburnham to investigate my ex Head of Midwifery & Named Safeguarding Manager for their malicious practices against myself & 1 other midwife who has also lost her career at the hands of these midwives

It’s time to make an example of these people.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MIDWIVES DARE GO AGAINST THE NHS?

19 September 2017 — Qualified as a midwife.

21 October 2021 — Raised my first formal grievance.

2021–2022 — Raised a further three grievances.

7 February 2024 — Resigned after years of raising concerns.

March 2024 — Threatened by a Director that “whistleblowers go missing.”

March 2024 — Publicly accused of killing a baby. I did not kill that baby.

April 2024 — Further defamatory statements made about me killing a baby,

June 2024 — GDPR/data protection breach by University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust.

July 2024 — Malicious referral made about me to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).

July 2024 — Received threatening legal correspondence from Bevan Brittan solicitors.

February 2025 — Further defamation re killing a baby.

February 2025 — Devon and Cornwall Police attended my home following an accusation of harassment. I categorically deny that I harassed anyone.

March 2025 — High Court defamation proceedings.

Aug 2025 — High Court proceedings concerning the GDPR/data protection breach.

November 2025 — A colleague was referred to the NMC. I was named within that referral and defamed again. By the same individual as my previous NMC referral.

I qualified to care for women and babies.

I raised concerns because that was my professional duty.

LOOK AT WHAT FOLLOWED.

Grievances.
Resignation.
Threats.
Defamation.
Regulatory referrals.
Solicitors’ letters.
A data breach.
Police at my home.
Damage to my career and professional reputation.
Years spent chasing documents, evidence and answers.

And now — the High Court.

People constantly ask:

“WHY DON’T NHS STAFF SPEAK OUT?”

Perhaps we’re asking the wrong question.

WHAT HAPPENS TO NHS STAFF WHO DO SPEAK OUT?

What message does this send to the next nurse, midwife, doctor or healthcare professional who witnesses something they believe is unsafe?

Stay quiet and protect yourself?

Or speak up and risk everything?

I chose to speak.

I will not be frightened into silence.

Every document.
Every referral.
Every letter.
Every statement.
Every piece of evidence.

LET THE COURTS SEE IT.

This is bigger than me.

Whistleblowers must be able to raise concerns without fearing the destruction of their careers, livelihoods and reputations for daring to speak. @ArturNadol7566 @KenZeroHarm @YvetteCooperMP @andyburnham @Simonekatz4tay @BarbarasBack

I've been asked to fly out of the country to record a podcast about my experiences of being a midwife here in the UK — and what I've witnessed along the way.

“NHS — the envy of the world.”
@KenZeroHarm @ArturNadol7566

[Victoria Rixon @Victoria_Rixon]

Elizabeth Dixon’s case is 25 years old.

So let’s go back to the beginning.

The evidence. The witnesses. The midwives. The records. The lawyers. We have it all.

Unpick what happened then and we may finally understand how maternity care got to where it is today.

25 years. Start at the beginning.

7 hours I’ve not been off the phone or video to harmed and bereaved families.

Their MPs, patient safety advocates, maternity leaders not listening. I will listen and we will make sure they do to. @ArturNadol7566 @KenZeroHarm @YvetteCooperMP @MichelleWelshMP @Jeremy_Hunt @larabirdsnp @ABridgen @RupertLowe10 @Simonekatz4tay

[Victoria Rixon @Victoria_Rixon]

Bill Kirkup covered up the cover up.

[Artur Nadolny @ArturNadol7566]

This is one of the most thoroughly documented cover-ups in NHS history, and it took even longer than 12 years to surface fully.

Elizabeth was left with permanent brain damage after her high blood pressure went untreated for 15 days, then suffocated at not even a year old when a newly qualified agency nurse failed to clear her tracheostomy tube overnight.

Dr Bill Kirkup's independent inquiry, delivered nearly two decades later, didn't mince words: "a cover-up began on the day that she died," with failures by every single organisation involved, none of them admitted, none of them properly investigated at the time.

He called for the police watchdog to examine how the case itself was handled.

[Victoria Rixon @Victoria_Rixon]

Please listen back to the brave Helen, Anne & Jesse Smalley, whose families have been involved in the Amos, Ockenden & Bill Kirkup maternity reports following the harm and deaths of their babies.
They speak openly about what they describe as a cover-up spanning 25 years — and continuing today.
Brave women. Brave voices. Please listen

It took Anne Dixon 12 years to gather the documents and evidence in the cover up of her baby girl Elizabeth's life and death. From 2000-2012 she uncovered corruption in Maternity Services, Coroners, NHS, Police, Safeguarding, Social Services. 25 years on she is broken and the truth still hidden.

[Aubrey’s Dad @DadOfAubrey]

The death of your child just isn't something you 'get over'.

This week the world will be posting 1st day photos. We'll be reminded of the things we'll never do.

We'll never buy that 1st ill-fitting school uniform, take the photo by the door, watch him walk through the gates.
