It is disgraceful that hospital staff unlawfully accessed the medical records of the victims of the Nottingham attacks. These were cruel, selfish actions that violated the privacy of the victims and were deeply hurtful for their loved ones. 1/2

Fully behind the Reading Rights campaign by @Booktrust. We can’t expect to see improvements in R4P or shared reading unless we look at the root causes- austerity, cost of living crisis, childcare costs, mental health crisis…all play a critical part. #ReadingRights #Booksaremybag

So grateful for your advice. (My 10 year old was helping me file all of my literature last night & he got to your papers & said “MORE Braun & Clarke… and again… and again”🤣🤣)

I’d like analyse a subset of the data to build on the new theoretical ideas I’ve developed. Heard one study isn’t sufficient for a PhD in psychology but the amount of analytical work & theoretical depth feels like an entire doctorate in comparison to a traditional quants study.

Rebecca Matthews @rebeccamatthewspsy.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

Thank you so much- that’s clarified so many of my concerns. The two papers I’ve written have used different sections of the data & have generated new theoretical concepts & extended theory rather than describing. Had the RTA bingo card with me at all times, ha!

Rebecca Matthews @rebeccamatthewspsy.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

Would really love your thoughts @ginnybraun.bsky.social & @vicclarke.bsky.social - I’ve written 2 papers for my PhD from one qualitative study (analysed using RTA) but I have so, so much more to draw on & discuss. Is there a limit to how many times you can use one data set?

Harmed families in Leeds & Sussex have had maternity reviews agreed. We know that’s a cheaper option than a public inquiry @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social but, tragically, the level of harm in Oxford & the retaliation we’ve faced over the last 22 months more than warrants a PI. You have to act.

Rebecca Matthews @rebeccamatthewspsy.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

JHOSC has now offered us a “facilitation exercise” with OUH, referring to “dispute resolution”. What has happened to 760+ families is not a dispute to be mediated! It’s documented, preventable harm compounded by a cover-up culture. JHOSC clearly don’t want accountability.

Rebecca Matthews @rebeccamatthewspsy.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

JHOSC held a private meeting with OUH on 22nd December 2025 about the media investigation by @channel4news.bsky.social & @newstatesman1913.bsky.social which apparently was to ‘reassure’… We have asked repeatedly for an account of what was discussed. JHOSC told us no minutes exist.

Rebecca Matthews @rebeccamatthewspsy.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

…the errors within their complaint responses to us that they had to apologise for (apparently they were because we wanted answers quickly 🙄); their shut down of the complaints process; the staged ‘listening event’ that caused so much harm to me that I had to formally complain.

Rebecca Matthews @rebeccamatthewspsy.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

OUH told the committee it had made “numerous attempts” to engage with our campaign. What they didn’t mention: the bait-&-switch meeting strategy they used; the ‘engagement strategy’ that was just reputation management & designed with someone who harmed us directly…

Rebecca Matthews @rebeccamatthewspsy.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

At that session, an OUH senior leader described OUH’s stillbirth outlier status & LAUGHED. The stats arguments used to explain away the stillbirth rates were already accounted for in MBRRACE’s methodology yet JHOSC accepted it without question…

Rebecca Matthews @rebeccamatthewspsy.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

The January JHOSC session was convened in direct response to a national media investigation our campaign initiated. We weren’t told it was happening & weren’t invited to attend. 22 months of active campaigning by Families Failed by OUH Maternity Services & JHOSC has never once contacted us.

Rebecca Matthews @rebeccamatthewspsy.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

OUH has apologised for presenting incorrect stillbirth data to Oxfordshire’s health scrutiny committee in January. Inaccurate data is the least of what was withheld from that committee & Families Failed by OUH Maternity Services made that clear to JHOSC last week… 🧵

The King's Speech is next month but there's still time to prod and push the gov to include an Anti-SLAPP commitment - that will mean parliamentary time will be given to this issue that already benefits from cross-party support.

U.K. law currently only protects SLAPP targets in economic crime cases. This leaves patient safety advocates, campaigners, journalists, victims of abuse all still exposed to the toxic harm of SLAPPs. We need the King’s Speech to address Anti-SLAPP legislation.

Despite representing 780+ families and pushing for OUH’s inclusion in the National Maternity & Neonatal Investigation, #FamiliesFailedbyOUHMaternityServices is not mentioned once in the HOSC minutes. The Committee has never contacted us. Oxon constituents deserve better.

100

Rebecca Matthews @rebeccamatthewspsy.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

The minutes refer to “concerns about the handling of information shared by groups.” Let’s be clear: we have experienced covert recording, catastrophic data breaches, prejudicial comments on medical records… That’s not a misunderstanding. @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social should be investigating.

100

Rebecca Matthews @rebeccamatthewspsy.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

A meeting between HOSC & OUH “provided reassurances” about the media investigation. Oxon HOSC “welcomed these clarifications as useful context for anyone who had viewed the coverage.” Is this more reputation management during Baroness Amos’ #NationalMaternityNeonatalinvestigation?

Rebecca Matthews @rebeccamatthewspsy.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

At #OxfordUniversityHospitals the issue is not staffing but a deep-rooted toxic culture which oozes misogyny & paternalism: informed consent breaches; barriers to accessing caesareans; dismissal of pain & red flags; outright neglectful care. We need authentic accountability.

Rebecca Matthews @rebeccamatthewspsy.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

Accountability would say “We’re aware of the issues & are taking these measures, making things safer.” Instead Oxford health professionals say ‘Don’t trust media coverage.’ This isn’t listening- this is #reputationmanagement disguised as care.

Rebecca Matthews @rebeccamatthewspsy.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

The letter was sent to mental health staff treating birth trauma. 🤯 Professionals supporting traumatised mothers are being told to undermine the very investigation that validates their patients’ experiences. This is institutional betrayal.

Rebecca Matthews @rebeccamatthewspsy.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

A mother in perinatal mental health services (IPPS) was SENT THE LETTER after saying the media coverage helped her realise her trauma wasn’t isolated. Instead of validation & accountability she got “Don’t trust the headlines.” How is gaslighting therapeutic? 🤔

Rebecca Matthews @rebeccamatthewspsy.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

The letter suggests staff share a blog post saying media is motivated by “getting maximum publicity” & “risk & gear sell news.” But @wesstreeting called the investigation “scandalous”. Are they dismissing the Health Sec as sensationalist too?

Rebecca Matthews @rebeccamatthewspsy.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

Oxford health professionals advise mothers to dismiss media investigations as “sensationalist”. Institutional gaslighting of trauma survivors at its finest. As someone who shared my traumatic birth & what I’ve endured since advocating for harmed families, this sickens me. 🧵

In 2021 I had a productive hour-long meeting with a cons OB & cons MW about OUH’s maternal request caesarean ban. I even shared that I was newly pregnant & concerned my campaigning would affect my care… I was reassured it wouldn’t. I only discovered this comment on my medical record in Sep ‘25.
