A STRATFORD midwife and a charity founder have been asked by the government to lead a national review which could change the law for bereaved families.

The Pregnancy Loss Review will be jointly led by Samantha Collinge from Stratford who is a specialist midwife and maternity bereavement service manager at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust.

She will be joined by Zoe Clark-Coates, who after her own experiences set up the Mariposa Trust, which supports around 50,000 people a week through baby loss.

Ms Collinge is also a trustee of the stillbirth bereavement charity Abigail’s Footsteps and advises the All Party Parliamentary Group on Baby Loss.

The announcement of the review was recently tweeted by health and social care secretary Jeremy Hunt. He added that he was “delighted” Ms Collinge and Ms Clark-Coates would now “lead review into how we change this, while also improving wider package of support across NHS”.
