Swansea Bay University Health Board (SBUHB) has commissioned an external independent review of maternity and neonatal services. The review is being overseen by an independent Oversight Panel.
The review consists of several workstreams including a clinical review, a review of current departmental risks, a governance assessment and contextual analysis. Underpinning the review is an engagement programme to gather feedback from families and staff on their experiences of maternity and neonatal services.
This website provides access to different ways for families to get in touch with the review and provide feedback on their experiences; it also provides information about the support available for families.
The clinical team will be undertaking a review of some maternity and neonatal cases and the experiences of families. This will be a phased approach and a letter will be sent to families in advance of the review to ask if they wish to be involved.
This is an independent review; please click here for more information about independence and the governance arrangements for this review.
Use of your information
We want to assure you that we will be very careful with the information you provide to the review team; this includes your data, your personal information and information on your experiences. Your views on the care you have received are vital and we might use your information in a number of different ways, including:
If you provide us with information which indicates a safeguarding concern, we may ask for more information or escalate this to the relevant persons or public authority.
If information we hold is requested by a Coroner or by an Order of the Court, we might need to release this, but we will let you know first.
All information that we hold will be kept on our secure systems for two years following the completion of the review process, after which point it will be safely destroyed. If you are concerned at all about how your information might be used, kept or accessed please get in touch with us at: swanseamaternityreview@nicheconsult.co.uk
