While most scores were in line with national averages, the health regulator found the trust had massively improved in one aspect of maternity care
Mums have scored Nottingham's heavily scrutinized maternity services much higher than in previous years in a new national survey. This year's National Maternity Survey, which is carried out by health watchdog the Care Quality Commission, has scored Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust higher than in previous years.
This was a significant improvement on how NUH had been rated on this aspect in the past, with just 27 per cent of women feeling this way in 2022. In 2022, senior midwife Donna Ockenden began an independent maternity services review into alleged failings at NUH, following hundreds of baby deaths and injuries.
NUH has been making changes in response to the review and its director of midwifery said the recent maternity survey results were "encouraging". Other improved results showed that a significant number of women felt they could get support or advice about feeding their baby during evenings, nights or weekends.
