Our view of the service

On 18 February 2026 we inspected the Nottingham City Hospital maternity unit, part of Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. We undertook a focused inspection to review progress to enforcement action that we had undertaken following our previous inspection in May 2025. We found that some improvements had been made and whilst concerns had been addressed the underpinning actions were not robust. This included the procedures for reducing the risk of babies being abducted and the support of junior staff.
