Our Midwifery experts deliver independent medico-legal reports for clinical negligence, personal injury, birth injury, obstetric litigation and complex maternity care cases. With extensive experience across NHS maternity units, delivery suites, antenatal and postnatal services, community midwifery and specialist perinatal services, our experts provide objective opinions that assist the courts in understanding the standard of maternity care provided throughout pregnancy, labour and the postnatal period.

We regularly support Birmingham-based solicitors acting on behalf of both claimants and defendants, providing detailed assessments that comply with CPR Part 35 requirements. Whether the case involves delayed recognition of complications, intrapartum management, neonatal outcome concerns, antenatal screening issues or postnatal care failures, our Registered Midwife Expert Witnesses provide clear, evidence-based reports to support the litigation process.

What Does a Registered Midwife Expert Witness Do?

A Registered Midwife Expert Witness provides independent opinion regarding the standard of maternity and midwifery care provided during pregnancy, labour, birth and the postnatal period.

Midwives are uniquely placed to evaluate issues relating to:

• Antenatal care and risk assessment

• Monitoring of maternal and foetal wellbeing

• Intrapartum labour management

• Recognition and escalation of complications

• Foetal heart rate monitoring and interpretation

• Labour progression and decision-making

• Use of obstetric guidelines and escalation pathways

• Postnatal maternal care

• Newborn assessment and early care

• Communication with obstetric teams and parents

• Safeguarding and documentation standards

Their expert opinion assists Birmingham solicitors, insurers and the courts in determining whether maternity care met an acceptable professional standard and whether any failings contributed to injury, harm or adverse outcomes.
