Review Update
Since the Review started in September 2022, 2,406 families have joined the Review.
The Review closed to new cases on the 31 May, 23:59pm. You can find more information about this on the ‘announcements’ page of our website. We expect the number of families within the Review to increase until we have received all cases from the Trust through the open book process.
Thank you to all families, charities, organisations, MPs and journalists that attended the Family Meeting on Saturday 14 June. The meeting provided an update on the Review’s timeline – explaining what families can expect in the last year of the Review leading up to and beyond publication. Nottinghamshire Police provided an update on Operation Perth and the investigation into data loss. The GMC, and NMC updated families on their action points from recent meetings and how they are planning to improve engagement with families across Nottinghamshire. The Family Psychological Support Service explained how families can access the service, and what the service entails. Sands United FC Nottingham welcomed all bereaved fathers to join their football team and support group.
The next Family Meeting is expected to take place on Saturday 13th September 2025, we will send an invitation to all families once the details have been confirmed. If there is anything in particular that you would like from the next Family Meeting, please do let us know and we will try our very best to accommodate family requests.
The Family Psychological Support Service (FPSS)
We recognise that for many families the Family Meeting will have been difficult to attend, and we want all families to feel supported by the Review so if you feel as though you require psychological support at this time please contact the Family Psychological Support Service or contact our offices – we are here to help you.
FPSS provides tailored psychological support for individuals, couples, and families – anyone within the family can access the service including parents, carers, siblings, and other family members. You can self-refer or contact the Review team so that we can refer you on your behalf. They offer a range of therapeutic techniques, paced for your needs with no time limits to the number of sessions you can access. They can offer home visits, provide in-person, video, or telephone support. They can also offer support across a range of languages through interpreters.
