Mind the gap: an investigation into maternity training for frontline professionals across the UK 2020/21

Mind the gap: an investigation into maternity training for frontline professionals across the UK 2020/21 This report, compiled from data received from Freedom of Information requests submitted to NHS trusts, examines the on-going training actually delivered to maternity professionals. It once again shows there is not sufficient on-going training and that NHS trusts are delivering less training today – and are spending less on it – than they were in 2017/18. Baby Lifeline is urging the government to commit funding to address the issues that this report highlights, in particular to ensure the correct level of training is delivered and that the staffing is in place to allow for that training.
