NHS maternity care response to human trafficking in the UK: Views of women and clinicians

Abstract

NHS clinicians have a key role in the identification, referral and care of people trafficked in the UK. However, little is known about clinicians’ response to trafficking or their training needs in this area. In addition the views and experiences of trafficked individuals who accessed NHS services or which NHS services they were likely to access were unknown. We aimed to provide evidence to inform the NHS response to human trafficking, specifically the identification and safe referral of trafficked people and provision of appropriate care to meet their health needs. Data relevant to maternity are presented
