The North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust is asking women and families in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, to share their experiences of maternity and newborn care. This feedback is part of a national review that aims to improve how hospitals support parents and investigate safety incidents.
The National Maternity and Neonatal Investigation started its public search for evidence on 20 January 2026. Local people have until 17 March 2026 to submit their personal stories and feedback through an official online portal.
This call for information follows an interim report published on 26 February 2026 by Baroness Amos. According to The BMJ, the report found that maternity services are struggling with deep-seated issues like staff shortages and unfair treatment based on race.
Although Peterborough City Hospital is not one of the specific sites under direct review, the trust says local feedback is vital for future changes. According to the investigation terms, a final report with recommendations for a national action plan is expected in Spring 2026.
Families needing immediate support or wanting to share their views can also call a local helpline on 01733 677266. This effort to gather feedback comes after a legal case involving the trust was heard at the County Court at Peterborough in November 2025.
