It’s so horrific, Helen. We have almost 700 harmed families in our group now. Did you watch this evening’s coverage? 😢

Thank you, I was one of the individuals recorded. It means a lot to read your comments. Do have a read of the @newstatesman1913.bsky.social coverage of the covert recording too.

This is just the beginning.

We will keep fighting until maternity care in Oxfordshire is safe, equitable, and respectful- and until every family receives the truth, justice, and accountability they deserve. ❤️

If you are a harmed family and want to share your story, join us:

The more voices included, the harder it becomes for anyone to ignore the truth.

We will fully engage with Baroness Amos and her team but we will also hold this process to account.

Families deserve transparency, meaningful involvement, and action- not a report that gathers dust.

While we welcome this review, we must be clear: A rapid review alone cannot ensure accountability.

Oxford needs a public inquiry into:
⚖️ Breaches of human rights
📜 Systemic failure to follow NICE guidelines & Montgomery
🏥 A culture that silences harmed families

OUH’s inclusion confirms what families have been saying for years:

📢 This isn’t “historic harm” or isolated cases – it’s systemic failure.

Babies have died preventable deaths. Mothers have been catastrophically injured. Families are still coming forward every single day.

This is a huge moment of validation for our 622 harmed families.

We’ve been calling out systemic failings in OUH maternity, including:
❌ Denial of pain relief
❌ Denial of maternal request caesareans
❌ Breaches of informed consent
❌ Missed risks
❌ Reluctance to intervene

In Psychology we pay such close attention to ethical practices & rigour in research- why is this different for @ouhospitals.bsky.social @oxfordlawfac.bsky.social @oxprimarycare.bsky.social?

Using patient data without due consent processes 🤔

Second scoring was BRAWN.

I was at a psychology conference- it made me SO grateful for your webinar series!
