amilies Failed by OUH Maternity Services campaign group now has over 288 harmed members and 100 new members waiting to be let in. So many 🚩 - toxic culture, women ignored, inhumane ‘care’, not following national guidelines. FamiliesfailedbyOUH.co.uk #MakeOxfordshireMaternitySafe #Birthtrauma

Not a single #Oxfordshire MP attended yesterday’s debate on #maternity services. The extent of avoidable harm to babies, women & families in Oxon is horrific. Where were you @laylamoran.bsky.social @freddievanmierlomp.bsky.social @ollyglover.bsky.social @calummillerld.bsky.social?

“I was treated as subhuman”. Absolutely harrowing experiences being shared on the new familiesfailedbyouh.co.uk campaign website. So much preventable trauma with long-lasting effects for mothers, babies & families. #MakeOxfordshireMaternitySafe #BirthTrauma #OxfordUniversityHospitals

There are going to be many, many more of these stories. "I told the midwife that I felt the need to push at 7am, and she said 'oh no, you're not in labour, you're fine' - but my body needed to push a baby out at that point." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If you experienced poor maternity care at the John Radcliffe or Oxfordshire University Hospitals, you can share your story at a new website - please pass on to anyone who may be interested: www.familiesfailedbyouh.co.uk

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 260+ harmed families are now in the Families Failed by OUH Maternity Services campaign. Harrowing experiences of baby deaths, harm to babies & women. Inhumane care. Once again OUH publically dismisses the harm. #MakeOxfordshireMaternitySafe FamiliesFailedByOUH.co.uk

MP had concerns about OUH’s “culture of secrecy” & attempts to “cover things up” in 2018. Exactly what the Families Failed by OUH Maternity Services campaign 260+ harmed families experienced. bbc.in/4gBF9gN @freddievanmierlomp.bsky.social @ollyglover.bsky.social #MakeOxfordshireMaternitySafe

@parentinfantfdn.bsky.social @freddievanmierlomp.bsky.social just 1 eg of why birth trauma & babies being avoidably harmed should matter to the #First1001Days campaign. Focus needs to move from privileged protection of breastfeeding to protecting babies from harm #MakeOxfordshireMaternitySafe

We now have 260+ harmed families in the Families Failed by OUH Maternity Services campaign group. Still #Oxfordshire Family Information Service won’t share the campaign & hasn’t updated its appalling birth information. @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social #MaternityScandal

Thank you @mazevansauthor for yet another great book- since you visited his school, my 8yo son has loved your books. We read this together & laughed so much (great jokes for geriatric milennials 😜). A great book for discussing BIG feelings. #Booksaremybag #BooksforWellbeing

Kim Thomas & I founded a campaign last year- Families Failed by OUH Maternity Services- to call for an indep inquiry into the standard of maternity care in #Oxfordshire. The extent of the harm is monumental 😢. #MaternityScandal #MakeOxfordshireMaternitySafe #BirthrightsareHumanRights

Struggling to find articles that really embrace & reflect @ginnybraun.bsky.social & @vicclarke.bsky.social RTA approach (other than their own!)- can anyone share any recommendations? #ReflexiveThematicAnalysis #QualResearch #DoingQual

Nothing can prepare you for when your children get tummy bugs… last night was a blur of bowls, washing, black sacks & tears (mine included!).

@jelliclecat.bsky.social lovely to see your face here- you won’t remember me but I was one of your Psych undergrad students at Warwick (04-07) & I used to love yours & Fiona’s lectures. Fiona was my dissertation supervisor 🥰
