Families Failed by OUH Maternity Services is a campaign advocating for a full independent inquiry into the systemic failures within Oxford University Hospitals Maternity Services
Families Failed by OUH Maternity Services is a campaign advocating for a full independent inquiry into the systemic failures with Oxford University Hospitals Maternity Services.
We are a group of over 600 families who have been harmed by OUH Maternity Services and are living with the lasting impact of these failures.
Families whose babies have died. Families whose children have been left with life-changing disabilities. Mothers suffering psychological and physical trauma. Parents whose lives have been devastated.
We have been failed.
We demand an independent inquiry, accountability and change.
Families Failed by OUH Maternity Services launched in June 2024 in response to growing concerns over the safety and quality of Oxford University Hospitals maternity care.
Since then, over 600 Oxfordshire families have joined the campaign, with more joining every day - highlighting the urgent need for an investigation.
Despite the Care Quality Commission rating OUH Maternity Services as ‘Requires Improvement’ in 2021, families’ experiences show that critical issues remain unresolved.
We strongly believe that avoidable failings are being made within OUH Maternity Services and that a maternity scandal is unfolding in Oxfordshire. That’s why we are calling for an independent inquiry to urgently protect families from future harm.
