By Martin JohnstonA midwife has been faulted over her care of a woman whose baby girl, her first child, was stillborn. He asked the Midwifery Council to review her competence and told the midwife to apologise to the woman. Mr Hill said the midwife had also breached professional standards by failing to document significant events. He has told the midwife, who is not named in his report, to undergo retraining in record-keeping, documentation, informed consent and care for women in labour. Mr Hill said the midwife breached the code of patients' rights and failed to follow up advice and ascertain if a 32-week scan had been done.
