Nottingham NHS trust

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) is currently under intense scrutiny following a major inquiry into its maternity and neonatal services. The trust has been described as "toxic" due to systemic failures that led to the harm or death of over 500 mothers and babies. A report revealed that 444 women and 76 newborn babies suffered "potentially avoidable" adverse outcomes over a 13-year period due to substandard treatment. These findings are part of a broader national review of maternity services, highlighting significant issues within NUH that have been uncovered in previous reports. The scale of the scandal makes NUH a focal point in discussions about the adequacy and safety of NHS maternity care across England.
