This fight was born out a of tragedy which lost us our beautiful baby Chloe. Which was very much avoidable by the NHS, Chloe should be celebrating her 15th birthday in April. She was born at 25 weeks 1 day gestation. She fought hard, came off the ventilator Chloe had a big personality.

But sadly like so many other babies, on the 4th of June 2011 our worst nightmare came true and Chloe died. She had got (Necrotising Enterocolitis) NEC, because it went undiagnosed and untreateated. It developed into sepsis after blood leaked in bowel for 12 hours, she lost her fight in unimaginable pain which was only made worse by the staff.

Last memory I have of Chloe is her screaming in pain as I was pushed out the room where they force fed her till she had a massive vomit and it haunts me everytime I hear a baby cry to this day.

It's taken 15 years uncover the truth and learn what our daughter went through. The hospital lied and covered it up. No family should ever go through this but sadly at least 2 babies die each day at the hands of the NHS through negligence. 

My daughter's death was shrouded in mystery, we always suspected a cover-up by NHS staff. We were lied to, diverted and manipulated throughout our complaint. They even used my vulnerability against me. This has led me to advocate for transparency and accountability within the NHS. I believe that mandating body cameras for neonatal and maternity NHS staff can help achieve this.

Body cameras have been proven to increase transparency and reduce incidents of misconduct in various fields, notably law enforcement. A Cambridge University study found that when police officers wore body cameras, complaints against them fell by 93% (The Guardian, 2016). While healthcare is a different field, the principle remains the same - increased visibility leads to increased accountability.

In addition to providing an unbiased record of events, these devices can also serve as a tool for training and quality improvement within the health service. They could provide invaluable insights into patient-staff interactions and help identify areas where improvements can be made.

The loss of my daughter is something no parent should experience or have to investgate their own baby. By mandating body cameras on NHS staff members we can ensure greater transparency and better care.

Any footage obtained will only be viewed with the parents permission. Any other babies in the footage will be blurred out to protect patient privacy. 

We are in the process of implementing new policy in neonatal surrounding NEC and Sepsis. This will save a lot of babies on it's own. But this law change is imperative to not only stop negligence but stop cover ups too.
