I also explained that I shared this story when teaching to 98 firms/attendees on my @apilexcellence Injuries in the neonatal period webinar recently. I am not taking this lightly. They are being watched now.

Ashtons Medical Negligence specialist, Bethany Kyle (@BethanyLKyle), is representing the parents of baby Finn Kennedy in this sad case. Bethany is calling for a National Inquiry into maternity services - these issues are not confined to one Trust. #maternityservices @Safe_Maternity
