Specialist serious injury and clinical negligence law firm Fletchers Solicitors has launched a new grants programme aimed at supporting professional development for those working in maternity and neonatal care.
The Fletchers Maternity Training Grants Programme will provide quarterly grants of up to £300 to help midwives, obstetricians and other maternity and neonatal professionals attend training courses, conferences and professional development opportunities.
The initiative has been developed to support access to professional learning for those working in maternity services, recognising the important role that training, shared knowledge and continuing professional development play in improving maternity care.
Fletchers is one of the UK’s leading serious injury and clinical negligence law firms, with one of the largest specialist birth injury practices in the country. The team represents families affected by life-changing injuries sustained during pregnancy, labour or shortly after birth, including complex cases involving cerebral palsy.
The maternity training grants programme reflects the firm’s commitment to supporting professional learning across the maternity sector.
Trevor Ward, Partner and Head of Birth Injury at Fletchers Solicitors, said:
“Our birth injury team works with families who have experienced life-changing injuries, and through that work we see how important learning and professional development are within maternity care.
We hope this programme will support maternity professionals in accessing valuable training opportunities and sharing knowledge that benefits their teams, their services and ultimately the families they care for.”
The programme forms part of Fletchers’ wider commitment to supporting families affected by birth injury and driving positive change across maternity care through its Every Birth. Every Baby. Every Family. campaign, which focuses on learning and improvement in maternity services.
