Theo Bradley died at one-day-old after being born with a severe brain injury at King's Mill Hospital
The cries for help from a pregnant woman who was heavily bleeding at a Nottinghamshire hospital went unanswered by midwives for almost 40 minutes before the death of her baby, an inquest has found. Theo Bradley died at one-day-old after being born with a severe brain injury at King's Mill Hospital in Sutton-in-Ashfield in September last year.
“To this day, I still wake up and hope it’s all been a nightmare and then it hits me and I’m completely floored by the grief. Knowing that our baby boy will never even celebrate his first birthday is so difficult to come to terms with. Ms Bradley arrived at the unit at 1.05am being pushed in a wheelchair by Mr Sherwood, with it "obvious she was in pain".
He was born by emergency Caesarean and was transferred to Nottingham City Hospital's neonatal unit, where the decision was made to stop his treatment. Ms Didcock said there were "many missed opportunities" to save Theo, including a failure to establish the major haemorrhage over the phone and a failure to triage Ms Bradley sooner.
"It is highly likely to be a cultural issue within the midwifery team." She also said it was "unfortunate" that the trust decided to not make training on the new triage system, implemented in May, mandatory. The trust has since changed this.
