The Ockenden Maternity Review released on 30 March 2022 investigating maternity services at Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust has now identified the scale of the worst maternity scandal in NHS history. The Final Report finds that significant or major concerns over the care received at the hospital Trust has been linked to:
- At least 201 tragic baby deaths, either as a result of stillbirth or death in their neonatal period.
- At least 94 children being starved of oxygen during their birth which has led to them suffering a hypoxic brain injury or HIE and cerebral palsy.
- 9 mothers dying as a result of the poor maternity care that they received.

Why bring a claim?
We want to help you and your family get the answers that you need to understand what went wrong with yours or your baby’s medical treatment.
If your child has suffered a birth injury, we know from our years of experience how life changing it can be to have the right compensation to provide for your child’s needs now and in the future; whether it is therapy, education, equipment, care, suitable accommodation, financial management, or all of those things and more. We will ensure that we help you obtain everything needed to give you peace of mind and your child financial security for the future.
If a loved one has died, no amount of money is ever going to bring them back. But we can help ease some of the financial burdens by obtaining compensation; investigate the claim to help you understand what happened; hold individual professionals to account; and raise standards so that no one else has to go through what has happened to you.
Why choose us?
We are specialists in obstetric claims including birth injury, Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalopathy claims, neonatal deaths, stillbirth and maternal deaths. We push boundaries to ensure that all avenues are explored, and that even the most difficult of claims have the best chance of succeeding. And, at all times, we put our clients first, asking the questions they want answered and ensuring they obtain the compensation they need to make life better.
No win no fee claims
We know that bringing a claim against the NHS seems daunting. But we offer no win no fee claims and will provide you with all of the help and support that you need throughout the claims process.
