Scala’s Sponsorship:

At Scala, we specialise in PR and marketing for the legal and healthcare sectors. Our experience in these fields has given us a unique perspective on what clinical negligence lawyers need to stand out. We are proud to have close ties with some of the UK’s top legal professionals, and the 2025 Maternity Conference is an excellent opportunity for them to connect.

Maternity safety is an area we know well, having supported clients in several high-profile maternity cases across England and Wales. This conference provides an essential platform for experts from all aspects of maternity care to exchange insights, whether they are legal professionals or leading NHS voices. These conversations are crucial in preventing future maternity scandals from becoming common headlines.

Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with speakers throughout the day. The Scala team will also be present, and we look forward to reconnecting with friends, colleagues, and clients at our stand.
