In this episode, Niall delves into a contentious and globally debated topic: the use of gender-neutral language in healthcare, particularly when it comes to pregnancy. The heart of this conversation revolves around whether the term "pregnant person" should replace "pregnant woman" in medical discourse.The catalyst for this discussion is recent news regarding the NHS's stance on gender-neutral language. Health Secretary Steve Barclay has made headlines by pledging to bring back what he terms "common sense" to the NHS, emphasizing the importance of precise language in healthcare settings. Phrases such as "chestfeeding" and "pregnant people" have become emblematic of this linguistic shift and have raised concerns about the potential erasure of biologically rooted terminology.Niall opens the lines to callers, inviting a diverse array of opinions on this sensitive issue. Some callers firmly advocate for the use of gender-neutral language in healthcare, asserting that it promotes inclusivity and respect for transgender individuals. They argue that the medical field should prioritize providing the best care for everyone, regardless of gender identity, and that adapting language is a crucial step in achieving this goal.Conversely, many callers express concerns about altering established language that accurately describes biological realities. They argue that the term "pregnant woman" reflects the scientific fact of pregnancy. While they acknowledge the importance of inclusivity, they believe that changing long-standing language for the sake of political correctness risks distorting scientific truths and muddling essential medical information.Join the conversation as we navigate the intricate intersection of language, inclusivity, and biological accuracy in healthcare. This episode provides an in-depth exploration of the complexities surrounding gender-neutral language, offering a platform for listeners to engage with this crucial and evolving issue.

Merope Mills says she will meet Health Secretary Steve Barclay this week to discuss her calls for new patient rights. In an exclusive interview with the Today programme earlier this month, Merope Mills advocated for the NHS to adopt the patient rights policy Martha's Rule, following the preventable death of her 13-year-old daughter Martha from sepsis in 2021. Speaking to the programme on 11 September, NHS England's Medical Director Sir Stephen Powis said he supports the policy, which would allow a patient or their family a statutory right to get a second opinion if they have concerns about care. But speaking to Today's Mishal Husain about the reaction to her call, Merope says she worries the NHS is looking at things from the perspective of hospitals rather than the view of patients.

Martha Mills was 13 years old when she died in hospital two years ago, after failures by doctors to spot and treat her sepsis. Her mother Merope previously spoke to Today and called for hospitals to implement 'Martha's Rule', where patients and their families would be given the right to an urgent second opinion, if they feel their concerns are not being taken seriously by medical staff. The Health Secretary Steve Barclay then said in the House of Commons that he was looking at introducing a Martha's Rule to the NHS. Labour responded to our interview by saying if the government doesn't act, they will write the rule into the NHS constitution. Today's Mishal Husain speaks to NHS England's National Medical Director, Professor Sir Stephen Powis, responds to that interview by Merope Mills and her call for 'Martha's Rule'.

After Lucy Letby, the UK's most prolific baby murderer, was sentenced earlier this month, there has been a lot of discussion about what form the public inquiry should take. The government has now decided that it should be led by a judge with full powers to force people to give evidence. That's what the families have been asking for and Health Secretary Steve Barclay has said he has listened to them - but that kind of inquiry is likely to take more time. Today's Martha Kearney first speaks to Dr Stephen Brearey, who is the lead consultant at the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital and who originally raised concerns about Lucy Letby in 2015. She also speaks to Sir Robert Francis, who was chair of the inquiry which looked into the failings into care in mid-Staffordshire.

Two-thirds of NHS cancer waiting time targets are expected to be dropped in England, in a move the health service says aims to catch cancers earlier. NHS bosses want to reduce the number of targets, most of which have been routinely missed in recent years, down to three. They say the plan is backed by leading cancer experts and will simplify the "outdated" standards. The changes have been under consultation since last year, and an outcome is expected within days. NHS leaders are understood to be keen to press on with the plan as first announced - but it is still subject to final approval by Health Secretary Steve Barclay. Today's Justin Webb speaks to Dr Tom Roques, Vice President of Clinical Oncology at the Royal College of Radiologists and a consultant oncologist, Professor Pat Price, visiting Oncology Professor at Imperial College, and co-founder of the 'catchup with cancer' campaign – which is focused on getting cancer waiting lists down, and to Steve Barclay, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.

Labour MP for South Shields, Emma Lewes-Buck tells us why she introduced a Bill for a Healthy Start scheme this week to encourage auto-enrolment to the Government initiative. The NHS Healthy Start scheme is considered a lifeline for pregnant women and families with young children, providing vital access to fruit and vegetables, milk and vitamins. But more than 200,000 babies and young children in England are missing out on this nutritional safety net, with uptake rates are as low as 50% in some areas. Food poverty levels have almost doubled since last year and rising food inflation has particularly impacted products such as milk, vegetables, and baby formula.It is vital the Government acts now to ensure every child has access to healthy, nutritious meals. That's why the Food Foundation joined has joined a cross-party group of MPs and health campaigners from 27 organisations in writing to Health Secretary Steve Barclay urging him to automatically enrol all families to Healthy Start.For more information and to read Emma's letter to the Secretary of State, click here Hosted on Acast.
