  • Saturday 14th November, 2026

    Dear Families, 

    The Trust are hosting a meeting on Saturday 14th November 2026 at the Hilton Nottingham Hotel, NG1 3PZ.

    This meeting will provide the Trust with an opportunity to share their response to the Immediate and Essential Actions outlined in the Review’s published report. It will also offer an opportunity for families to shape the Perinatal* Families Advisory Board.

    What is the Perinatal Families Advisory Board?

    Throughout the duration of the Review, senior leaders across NHS England and NUH Trust met with Donna Ockenden at meetings referred to as ‘Learning and Improvement’ (L&I). These meetings provided an opportunity for the Chair of the Review to raise concerns in real time, and helped early improvements be put into place at the Trust.

    The Review’s published report set out a number of Immediate and Essential Actions for the Trust to implement to support improvements. After publication in June 2026, the L&I board has been redesigned to include a Perinatal Families Advisory Board co-chaired by Donna Ockenden and a family member, and a separate Staff Board. The new L&I board will be chaired by Michelle Welsh who is the MP for Sherwood Forest and the Government’s National Maternity Advisor.

    The November meeting is open for families to attend and share their feedback, and for the Trust to listen and act on this.

  • Family Meeting – Saturday 17th January

    Thank you to all of the families who were able to attend the family meeting on Saturday 17th January. Donna Ockenden, Chair of the Review, gave an update on the progress of the Review and provided information on what to expect in the lead up to publication of the report (June 2026). The General Medical Council (GMC) and the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) provided an update on what they have implemented since the last family meeting. We recognise that many families are either not able to attend, or do not feel able to attend the family meetings which is why we are committed to publishing the PowerPoint slides on the Review website so that all families are provided with the same information.
