When things go wrong in maternity care, communication and continuity aren’t “nice to have”—they are central to safety, outcomes, and accountability.

In the latest Her Body, Her Life, Her Claim mini video, expert midwife and obstetrics witness Ruth Lovelady explores why joined-up care across the maternity pathway is so critical.

From consistent information sharing between teams, to women being able to trust that their story is understood at every stage, continuity of care reduces risk, prevents avoidable harm, and supports timely escalation when concerns arise.

When communication breaks down, so does the safety net.

Watch now to understand how continuity and communication sit at the heart of both good clinical practice and clinical negligence analysis.

Save Money. Save Skills. Save Futures.
In Episode 2 of Voc to the Future, Vocational Rehabilitation Experts Maria Morris Karen explore why vocational rehabilitation is not just about returning someone to work — it is about protecting long-term outcomes for clients and reducing avoidable losses within a claim.
Too often, vocational rehabilitation is introduced after opportunities have already been lost.
Early vocational intervention can:
• Preserve employability and transferable skills
• Support independence and long-term self-sufficiency
• Reduce social isolation and improve wellbeing
• Protect future earning capacity
• Reduce ongoing financial losses within litigation
• Improve rehabilitation and recovery outcomes overall
For solicitors handling personal injury, catastrophic injury, clinical negligence and employment-related matters, vocational rehabilitation can play a crucial role in both client recovery and proportional case management.
Meaningful employment is closely linked to confidence, identity, mental wellbeing and quality of life. When clients are supported early, they are more likely to retain skills, remain engaged in rehabilitation and achieve sustainable future outcomes.
Vocational rehabilitation is not simply a support service — it is often a cost-saving strategy that can significantly influence the long-term value and direction of a case.
In this episode, Maria and Karen discuss how timely vocational input can help:
• Save money on claims
• Preserve client skills and employability
• Support recovery and independence
• Improve long-term life outcomes and future income potential

Introducing Voc to the Future — a new series from Circle Case Management exploring the real impact of vocational rehabilitation on recovery, employability, litigation and future outcomes.

In Episode 1, Vocational Rehabilitation Experts Maria Morris and Karen Elsmore break down a question many legal professionals still ask:

What exactly does vocational rehabilitation cover?

From personal injury and clinical negligence to employment, family and catastrophic injury cases, vocational rehabilitation can play a critical role in improving outcomes, reducing long-term loss and helping individuals rebuild meaningful futures.

In this first discussion, Maria and Karen explore:
• The different types of cases vocational experts can support
• When vocational rehabilitation should be considered
• How early intervention can influence recovery and future employability
• The wider legal, financial and human impact of vocational support

Vocational rehabilitation is often introduced too late — or overlooked entirely. Through this series, we aim to demystify the process and highlight the value vocational expertise can bring to solicitors, clients and multidisciplinary teams alike.

When it comes to maternity care, escalation can make all the difference.

In our Her Body, Her Life, Her Claim series, expert midwife Emma Twine explores what escalation really means in clinical practice—and what happens when it doesn’t occur in time.

According to the RCOG Every Baby Counts campaign, 36% of adverse outcomes were linked to issues with escalation. A powerful reminder that recognising deterioration, acting promptly, and communicating effectively are critical in protecting both mother and baby.

Understanding these factors is key in clinical negligence cases—and in improving care for the future.
