Summary
NHS England is now recruiting for a National Speciality Advisor – Obstetrics / Public Health to join our existing cohort.
In March 2023, NHS England published the Three-Year Delivery Plan for Maternity and Neonatal Services. This aims to improve the safety of maternity and neonatal care, make it more personalised and more equitable. It incorporates actions to implement the reports by Donna Ockenden on Shrewsbury and Telford, and Bill Kirkup on East Kent. The national safety ambition is to halve the 2010 rates of stillbirths, neonatal and maternal deaths and brain injuries in babies occurring during or soon after birth by 2025. The ambition also includes reducing the rate of pre-term births from 8% to 6%.
