Findings published by Baroness Amos's investigation have uncovered recurring issues across multiple NHS trusts, including the alarming discrimination faced by women of colour. In our latest Ask the Expert video, @CeilidhRob shares insights into systemic racism in maternity care.

After 28 years of acting for mothers, babies and families who have lived through,and continue to live with the trauma of these tragedies; I am so pleased to see the concerns about maternity services,now regularly being reported in national news. @wesstreeting @MichelleWelshMP

[Suzanne White @White_Suz]

My brave client was a young mother who suffered a fourth-degree tear which was mis-diagnosed - she was ignored dismissed and patronised whilst in the most terrible pain, bleeding heavily causing her serious physical and psychological harm. We settled against UH Sussex NHS FT.

Heartbreaking to read of a child in the UK dying from an entirely preventable infectious disease. Measles can be a vicious & deadly illness. The MMR vaccine offers superb protection & there is NO link between the vaccine and autism, contrary to what many medical charlatans try to scaremonger.

Please know that NHS doctors & nurses like me would never urge you to do something that could endanger your child.

Really reliable NHS info on vaccines can be found here. Please read, it’s excellent:

More pain and distress for the families involved in the Nottingham maternity scandal - data loss “likely malicious “

[Shaun Lintern @ShaunLintern]

I first wrote about this scandal back in 2023 - it got very little attention sadly - it wasn't until Sept last year that NHS England ordered areas to start recalling children - delays can mean developmental, lifelong issues:

[Shaun Lintern @ShaunLintern]

775 children across England have been recalled amid fears they have been misdiagnosed after having hearing tests between 2018 and 2023. Another 1,374 children need to be seen in the next 2 months. So far, 107 have been found to have come to serious harm https://t.co/DxnFZDLCpw

[Shaun Lintern @ShaunLintern]

🚨 EXC: @wesstreeting orders inquiry into how hundreds of children were misdiagnosed by NHS hearing tests. He tells The Sunday Times inaction by senior NHS leaders was "unforgiveable"

The generation of disabled children are still waiting on @wesstreeting to take action

[Shaun Lintern @ShaunLintern]

As the NHS struggles, more and more patients are choosing to go private. But can you trust your private doctor? This story from September 2023 remains very relevant 🔓 https://t.co/1pH5y6wFA2 6/6

[Shaun Lintern @ShaunLintern]

Sometimes an interview just hits you - This one floored me.

[Shaun Lintern @ShaunLintern]

I was genuinely shocked by this story - both for the scale of the harm but also the cover-up by the NHS. It never got the attention it deserved IMO

🔓 1,540 children have been misdiagnosed by NHS hearing tests since 2019 4/6 https://t.co/QySkqFVJja
