We make care safer and better for every pregnant woman and newborn baby.

Together, we are creating change at the heart of care. 

As a main provider of training to maternity health professionals in the NHS, thousands of health professionals every year are making positive changes to the way they care for women and babies following our training courses.

Almost all services in the UK, and some further afield, are using equipment donated or developed by us. 

The equipment ranges from incubators to help babies who are born small or unwell, our own home birth bags for midwives, and ultrasound scanners.

As a leading voice in maternity safety, we work with top universities to transform maternity care, women’s experiences and prevent harm through research.

Our own unique research projects focus on identifying and overcoming the barriers to safer maternity care.

Join us for our sixth annual National Maternity Safety Conference! This year’s event will take place at the Hilton Metropole in Birmingham on 25th September 2025.

Latest news from Baby Lifeline

Baby Lifeline is a national charity which supports frontline NHS staff to prevent injuries and deaths in and around childbirth. 

Our mission is to improve safety and make care better for every mother, birthing person, baby and the frontline maternity professionals that support them.
 
Sometimes it’s due to a lack of equipment. Sometimes it’s because of a gap in training. Sometimes it’s the result of problems within the system. But whatever the reason, 13 babies a day are stillborn or have just a few hours, days, or weeks of life in the UK. And research has shown that the majority of tragedies like these could be avoided.
