Independent Thematic Review into Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) maternity services

NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSEI) are jointly establishing an independent thematic Review of maternity incidents, complaints and concerns at Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH).

The aim of this Review is to drive rapid improvements to maternity services in Nottingham by focussing on issues where change is urgently needed. We aim to ensure that family engagement is embedded within the Review so that feedback from every family with experience and opinions can be acknowledged and considered.
