Parents are encouraged to participate in a series of public meetings regarding a significant review of maternity services in Sussex. The first meeting will take place on September 5 in Brighton, led by senior midwife Donna Ockenden, who is conducting an independent investigation into over 1,000 maternity cases since 2018.
The review aims to gather insights from families affected by past incidents to inform improvements in care provided by University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust. The trust has expressed its commitment to supporting the review and enhancing safety in its maternity services.
As the public meetings commence, families should prepare to share their experiences, which could directly influence the review's recommendations. Watch for how these discussions shape future maternity policies and the trust's commitment to implementing necessary changes.
