what is frequently overlooked in maternity care reviews
In maternity and obstetric case reviews, there are a few recurring issues that are often underestimated or not fully appreciated at the time care is delivered.
In this Her Body, Her Life, Her Claim mini video, expert midwife and obstetrics witness Ruth Lovelady discusses what she regularly sees in women’s cases where critical elements have been missed or given insufficient weight.

Watch now, by clicking the image, to understand what is frequently overlooked in maternity care reviews, and why attention to detail and listening to women remains central to safe practice and robust clinical analysis.
