East Kent Hospitals chosen to take part in national investigation of maternity and newborn baby care

East Kent Hospitals is one of 14 trusts chosen to take part in a rapid, national investigation of maternity and newborn baby care across England.

We are one of three trusts that have been chosen where previous investigations have taken place and learnings from these will be incorporated in this new investigation.

The investigation will deliver one clear set of national recommendations to achieve consistently high-quality, safe maternity and neonatal care.

We welcome the opportunity to take part in this important review and to share our learning from our journey to improve maternity services in east Kent.

Our staff have worked hard alongside families to make significant improvements to our maternity and neonatal services. We are committed to continuing this journey to provide the highest standard of care for our communities.

You can learn more about the investigation on the government website.
