When birth trauma is minimised or not fully acknowledged, the impact can extend far beyond the delivery room.

In this Her Body, Her Life, Her Claim mini video, Expert Midwife and obstetrics Emma Twine explores what can happen when women’s experiences of trauma are not recognised, validated, or appropriately followed up.

From delayed psychological support to missed opportunities for learning and improvement in care, minimising trauma can affect recovery, trust in services, and future maternity experiences. It can also obscure important clinical insights that are essential in understanding what went wrong and why.

Watch now to understand why recognising and responding to birth trauma is vital for both patient wellbeing and safe clinical practice.

In maternity and obstetric case reviews, there are a few recurring issues that are often underestimated or not fully appreciated at the time care is delivered.

In this Her Body, Her Life, Her Claim mini video, expert midwife and obstetrics witness Ruth Lovelady discusses what she regularly sees in women’s cases where critical elements have been missed or given insufficient weight.

Too often, subtle but significant changes in presentation, patterns in observations, or concerns raised by women themselves are not escalated early enough—or are not fully integrated into the wider clinical picture. These gaps can affect decision-making and, ultimately, outcomes.

Watch now to understand what is frequently overlooked in maternity care reviews, and why attention to detail and listening to women remains central to safe practice and robust clinical analysis.

When things go wrong in maternity care, communication and continuity aren’t “nice to have”—they are central to safety, outcomes, and accountability.

In the latest Her Body, Her Life, Her Claim mini video, expert midwife and obstetrics witness Ruth Lovelady explores why joined-up care across the maternity pathway is so critical.

From consistent information sharing between teams, to women being able to trust that their story is understood at every stage, continuity of care reduces risk, prevents avoidable harm, and supports timely escalation when concerns arise.

When communication breaks down, so does the safety net.

Watch now to understand how continuity and communication sit at the heart of both good clinical practice and clinical negligence analysis.

Save Money. Save Skills. Save Futures.
In Episode 2 of Voc to the Future, Vocational Rehabilitation Experts Maria Morris Karen explore why vocational rehabilitation is not just about returning someone to work — it is about protecting long-term outcomes for clients and reducing avoidable losses within a claim.
Too often, vocational rehabilitation is introduced after opportunities have already been lost.
Early vocational intervention can:
• Preserve employability and transferable skills
• Support independence and long-term self-sufficiency
• Reduce social isolation and improve wellbeing
• Protect future earning capacity
• Reduce ongoing financial losses within litigation
• Improve rehabilitation and recovery outcomes overall
For solicitors handling personal injury, catastrophic injury, clinical negligence and employment-related matters, vocational rehabilitation can play a crucial role in both client recovery and proportional case management.
Meaningful employment is closely linked to confidence, identity, mental wellbeing and quality of life. When clients are supported early, they are more likely to retain skills, remain engaged in rehabilitation and achieve sustainable future outcomes.
Vocational rehabilitation is not simply a support service — it is often a cost-saving strategy that can significantly influence the long-term value and direction of a case.
In this episode, Maria and Karen discuss how timely vocational input can help:
• Save money on claims
• Preserve client skills and employability
• Support recovery and independence
• Improve long-term life outcomes and future income potential
