Welcome to our revamped podcast, Growing Stronger – Law Matters and You. Each month we will release an episode with a focus on a legal issue in correspondence with the theme of our monthly eNewsletter, Law Matters and You. To subscribe to the Law Matters and You eNewsletter and be the first to receive each month’s podcast episode, click here.
This month’s episode is in recognition of Birth Trauma Awareness Week (17-24 July). Join Senior Associate and former midwife, Linda Crawford, as she talks through the causes of birth trauma plus the legal remedies and other support for women and their partners.
Within our team of specialist health lawyers, Linda specialises in obstetric and birth trauma claims and her 2 decades of experience as a nurse/midwife is extremely valuable when assessing maternal birth trauma claims.
