Require separate NHS areas for people experiencing pregnancy complications/loss
We want the Government to protect people experiencing pregnancy complications and/or pregnancy loss from unnecessary distress by requiring the NHS to offer a separate space/waiting area for people experiencing this.
Make it mandatory for NHS to offer this space at first contact. This could be done by using a code word at arrival for patient appointments, so NHS staff can easily recognise without having to check patient notes (which is often after the patient has already been placed in a general waiting area). Staff can then offer a separate space immediately meaning vulnerable patients are in a safe and comfortable space, free from upsetting triggers whilst waiting to be seen.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
