Donna Ockenden, the senior midwife leading the wide-ranging independent review into maternity failings at Nottingham's main hospitals, says her team will work to ensure lessons are learnt from the 'watershed' case of baby Wynter Andrews.
Baby Wynter died just 23 minutes after she was born at the Queen's Medical Centre in September 2019. On Friday (January 27), Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) was fined a record £800,000 for failing to provide safe care to Wynter and her mum Sarah Andrews.
Wynter died after the umbilical cord had become wrapped around her neck and from acute chorioamnionitis - an inflammation of the placenta due to an infection. She had also suffered a haemorrhage to the brain and lung.
