Rona McCandlish, National Professional Maternity Advisor for the Care Quality Commission CQC, is here to answer any questions you may have about maternity services, pregnancy, birth or the postnatal period.
The CQC say “We ensure hospitals, care homes, dental and general practices and other care services in England provide people with safe, effective and high-quality care, and encourage the services to improve.”
Rona began her health care career started in health care as a nursing assistant in Edinburgh forty years ago. She went on to train as a general nurse, and then as a mental health nurse, and finally as a midwife. She has practised continuously as a registered midwife since 1985.
As a registered practicing midwife, Rona advises the CQC about a range of issues relating to maternity. Her varied work includes regularly being part of a team inspecting maternity services; advising CQC’s expert analysts; and meeting parents to talk about care they’ve experienced. Her feedback is then used by the CQC to improve maternity services inspections.
Post your questions for Rona on this thread by 21 June. We’ll then pick 20 questions for Rona to answer. Check the thread again on 30 June, when Rona’s responses will be posted.
This Q&A is sponsored by the CQC.
