Lorin Lakasing

Dr. Lorin Lakasing is an NHS consultant in obstetrics and foetal medicine. She draws on her 30 years of clinical experience in maternity care to give an insider’s view of the current worrying situation and its development, and suggests how we might move towards the safe, effective NHS maternity service that everyone deserves. Her latest book, “Delivering the truth: Why NHS maternity care is broken and how we can fix it together” is about the stories behind the headlines, revealing the reasons why major stakeholders in this vital service have inadvertently been encouraged to pursue different agendas, and how that has made effective, collaborative working towards optimal clinical outcomes almost impossible.
