maternity

A woman whose baby daughter was stillborn after failings in her care during pregnancy has said the government's planned rapid review of maternity care in England will not deliver "justice" or "accountability".

Fourteen NHS trusts are to have their maternity services examined over what has been described as "failures in the system", the government has said.

The closure of clinics in villages has resulted in a surge of patients at the maternity ward of the main regional hospital in the provincial capital Faizabad.

A simulation laboratory that can be used to recreate emergency childbirth situations for staff learning in a risk-free environment is revolutionising maternity training in Birmingham, the NHS has said.

Despite doctor shortages in her region, she felt she had to leave a role with sick pay and maternity benefits, and opt for locum work because it provided greater flexibility.
