New funding for maternity leadership training following on from the Ockenden maternity review

The Government has announced a £500,000 maternity leadership programme to train senior maternity and neonatal leaders. This follows on from the issue of leadership being identified as a key factor in Donna Ockenden’s independent review into cases of neglect and preventable baby deaths at Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust.
