Very sad to be told student midwives have received emails from universities telling them not to speak to me or other media about this story. Just to repeat - any student midwife can contact me and no one will know. I will protect your identity.
I'd really like to hear from more student midwives about what's going on during your training. Happy to be contacted via DM or at shaun.lintern@sundaytimes.co.uk - anonymity is not a problem. #maternity #maternitysafety
