About this event
Victoria Wilkins, Associate Safety and Learning Lead from NHS Resolution, will speak about informed consent and maternity care ‘outside of guidance’, together with Nichola Lennon, Healthcare Regulatory Partner, and Alison Brennan, Legal Director in Weightmans’ healthcare claims team.
This webinar will explore the relevant legal and regulatory issues in relation to claims and inquests for NHS trusts who are supporting requests for home births and birthing ‘outside of guidance,’ including:
- why mothers might choose to birth ‘outside of guidance’, appropriate advice and associated patient safety challenges.
- key issues to consider in claims involving home births and births ‘outside of guidance.’
- how legal, regulatory and governance frameworks are evolving in parallel and the role of coroners’ prevention of future death reports from inquests in learning from obstetric patient safety incidents.
The webinar will be of interest to medical professionals delivering maternity services in the NHS as well as directors, department heads, claims managers and others in legal services at trusts who deal with maternity claims.
