Our view of the service

On 18 February 2026 we inspected the Queens Medical Centre 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 staff.

People's experience of this service

At this inspection we did not speak with women and their significant others. We did not do this due to the focused nature of the inspection.
