Follow the conference on X #SavingBabiesLives
A must attend event for all professionals involved in maternity safety and fetal wellbeing, this conference focuses improving practice and ensuring adherence to the Saving Babies Lives Version 3.2 Care Bundle. Through expert sessions, lived experience and case studies of best practice, the day will support you to improve the safety and effectiveness of maternity care and contribute to national efforts to prevent avoidable stillbirth.
The conference will focus on the updated elements of the Saving Babies Lives Care Bundle Version 3.2. There will be an extended focus on Element 6 covering the management of pre-existing diabetes in pregnancy for women with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes who are known to be 4-5 times at risk of losing their baby. Through practical case studies and learning from lived experience the conference will support you to improve practice and save babies lives.
“1 in every 250 pregnancies ends in a stillbirth in the UK. That’s 8 babies every day.”
Tommy’s 2026
“At its most fundamental, maternity and neonatal care must offer a safe service and staffing levels are key to ensuring that this is possible. Safe care requires an appropriate skill mix, supervision, relational continuity and psychological safety.”
National Maternity Investigation February 2026
The conference will also reflect on the findings and learning from the National Maternity Investigation which is currently ongoing and the new Maternity Outcomes Signal System (MOSS)
“The new Maternity Outcomes Signal System (MOSS) will be in place across trusts from November. MOSS will use near-real time data to indicate higher than expected rates of stillbirth, neonatal death and brain injury, allowing more timely action to be taken when standards deteriorate.”
