The OASI care bundle was rolled out across UK mate

The OASI care bundle was rolled out across UK maternity units to reduce severe perineal tears.

Our concern is not the aim, which everyone shares, but how the bundle handles evidence and consent.

The Professional Standards Authority has published

The Professional Standards Authority has published its latest review of the Nursing and Midwifery Council, and the findings are stark. The NMC failed nine of the PSA's eighteen Standards of Good Regulation in 2025, up from seven the year before, and just one the year before that. Behind those failures are real people: midwives and nurses waiting years for cases to conclude, with case examination alone now taking a median of 21 months.

Deborah Hughes has written a full breakdown of the review, what it found on Fitness to Practise, education standards and equality, and why she believes tinkering is no longer enough.

Comment POST and we'll send you the link.
