Research @NCTcharity shows that new mothers are often left for long periods without help to access the bathroom, lift & feed their babies or even reach the food and water they need. At least 1 in 3 will have had major surgery. We urgently call on all hospitals to welcome partners
🏥 Hospital patients are being denied visits from loved ones by trusts using outdated Covid restrictions. Analysis shows that despite the NHS telling hospitals to open up last March, 70% of trusts still have some form of visiting restrictions in place telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/01…
