Consultants orders disregarded by midwife

"Consultants orders disregarded by midwife"

About: Whiston Hospital / Maternity care

My daughter gave birth here she has serious heart complaint which her heart consultant and baby consultant insisted she had to be given antibiotics during labour and ten days after. The midwife totally ignored this and she was not given them. She is due to give birth again in September and will insist that all involved follow heart consultant advice this time as if she gets an infection it would kill her

We take all issues surrounding patient experience very seriously and we are extremely sorry that on this occasion your daughters experience was not at the standard we would expect. Please contact our PALS team on 0151 430 1376 so that we can discuss this further with you. We can work together with our maternity lead to rebuild confidence prior to delivery.
