A midwife has denied claims that she did not properly monitor the heart of a baby that died less than 12 hours after being born.
Isabelle Greatholder, a midwife of four years, had been on the night shift at the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford on April 10, 2021, the night Poppy Mary Isabella Russell was born.
She said she asked Mrs Russell if she could do a CTG and explained the importance of the procedure to monitor the baby's heart, but the mother had"declined". She said that she tried to get readings every 15 minutes but struggled to get accurate recordings or to do any readings at all.
