The Maternity & Midwifery HourShow Notes
Series 18 - Episode 4: An update on the work of NHS Resolution’s Early Notification scheme
The Early Notification (EN) Scheme is a key initiative towards achieving the delivery of safer maternity care, providing a more rapid, caring response to families in cases of severe harm and supporting a learning culture.
This session will explore the NHS Resolution’s Early Notification (EN) scheme and share learning and resources that are useful for clinical practice.
The scheme proactively investigates specific brain injuries at birth for the purposes of determining if negligence has caused the harm. We then aim to investigate the claim sooner to provide earlier resolution for families. The EN team have published two key learning reports and you will have an opportunity to hear more about the reports and the work of the scheme during the presentation.

More from The Maternity & Midwifery Hour
Most of us will know that our supermarket bills are increasing due to the rising cost of living and this might mean that we have to cut out a treat or two. But for some families, with a new baby, the rising cost of infant formula is having a major impact on their well-being, forcing parents to reduce their own food intake, take strategies which may impact on their baby’s health, or even getting into debt, to ensure their babies are fed and cared for.
While professional frameworks uphold compassionate care, growing global evidence indicates that disrespectful and abusive care remains a persistent systemic issue within maternity services worldwide.
Using research and evidence has become an important part of the midwife’s toolbox and, for some midwives, this moves beyond, to querying aspects of their practice, learning or management and towards a journey towards engaging in research themselves.
