Ockenden Report
Donna Ockenden's initial emerging findings report into the failings in maternity care in Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals which resulted in deaths and harming of mothers and babies from 2000-2019 (1,862 Serious Incidents) was published in December 2020.
The Ockenden Report (2020) put forward 7 Immediate and Essential Actions (detailed below) that all NHS Trusts should make in the areas of strengthening the partnership within local networks, listening more closely to pregnant women and their families and enabling staff who work together to train together as well as part of a multidisciplinary approach.
The final report of the Ockenden review, published on 30th March 2022 details the findings, conclusions and essential actions from the independent review of maternity services at the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust.
Hospital Trusts in Humber and North Yorkshire are working with partners including the Maternity Voices Partnership to meet the Ockenden requirements and improve safety in our maternity services. This includes mitigating against the risks identified in the report and developing robust plans against the areas where our services need to make changes.
Our main focus will be on the report's four key pillars, as below.
1. Safe staffing levels
2. A well-trained workforce
3. Learning from incidents
4. Listening to families
