With more families choosing to give birth at home—whether with a registered midwife, a doula, or through freebirth—it’s essential to understand the legal and medical risks if complications arise.
In this webinar, Ian Murray, Practice Lead in Medical Negligence, will discuss:
- The differences between midwife-assisted births, doula-supported births, and freebirths
- The legal status and responsibilities of non-medical birth attendants
- When a medical negligence claim may arise in a home birth setting
- Duty of care, informed consent, and the risks of delayed emergency transfers
- What legal options are available when something goes wrong
This session is ideal for expectant parents, birth professionals, and anyone seeking clarity on the legal framework surrounding out-of-hospital births.
