Shared Insights: What the National Maternity and Neonatal Investigation means for you – and what to do next
The National Maternity and Neonatal Investigation is a landmark moment. Its recommendations, published on 30 June 2026, aim to drive urgent improvements in maternity and neonatal care and safety, reduce inequalities and deliver justice and accountability for families.
Every maternity professional needs to understand what this means for their organisation – and act on it.
We have assembled a panel of leading legal, clinical and patient voices to help you do exactly that.
During this interactive session, you will gain a clear understanding of the investigation’s key findings and recommendations, insight into what they mean for your organisation in practice and actionable steps you can take back to your team straight away.

The session will be chaired by Browne Jacobson’s Kelly Buckley, Partner, and Amelia Newbold, Risk Management Lead, who will provide expert legal analysis and discuss the implications with our panel:
