Rebecca said: “The care we received saved Luna’s life. If we hadn’t been in the right place at the right time, then there would have been a very different outcome - something that is not lost on us. We are so grateful to those that were a part of Luna’s journey, especially at the start.” 4/4

With @england.nhs.uk and the regional maternity/neonatal network we’re ensuring a series of evidence-based interventions are used in everyday practice.
Each of these proactive measures contributed to Luna’s safe arrival.
