Why is communication and continuity of care so important in Maternity?

When things go wrong in maternity care, communication and continuity aren’t “nice to have”—they are central to safety, outcomes, and accountability.

In the latest Her Body, Her Life, Her Claim mini video, expert midwife and obstetrics witness Ruth Lovelady explores why joined-up care across the maternity pathway is so critical.
