Maternity Film (Epsom and St Helier Hospital) 

Hoping that 🙏 😌 😪 😔

Epsom surrey head

I really don't think this is appropriate to post on your main channel - or even in the public domain. I understand it's fictional, but fundamentally it shows midwives, nurses & doctors behaving unprofessionally and dangerously. Including, biased behaviour, dismissing patient concerns and anxieties, understaffing, putting labouring women in danger by ignoring their needs, lack of training/support for temporary staff, and a whole host of other issues Now, I appreciate this is a training video, but it is stated clearly in the beginning that "it has been inspired by real patient and staff experiences." Seriously? These things actually happened at these hospitals? How long ago? Are they still happening? Bearing in mind the Feb CDQ report findings, do you really think that this is appropriate to put on your youtube channel? Fundamentally, it doesn't matter that the video is for training purposes - it doesn't leave one with a great opinion of the hospital(s). Women who are trying to reassure themselves about the safety of giving birth at Epsom/St Helier - given the Feb 2024 report (based on Aug 2023 review) - likely aren't filled with confidence by seeing this.
