Nurses Rally to Support Convicted Neonatal Nurse Amid Calls for Review
16 Nov
Summary
- Around 200 nurses gathered to support Lucy Letby, convicted of murdering 7 babies
- New evidence suggests many deaths can be explained by natural causes
- Letby's legal team has passed new evidence to the Criminal Cases Review Commission

On November 15, 2025, around 200 nurses and health professionals gathered in Sheffield to show their support for Lucy Letby, a neonatal nurse who was sentenced to life imprisonment in August 2023 for the murder of seven newborn babies and the attempted murder of six more. The conference, organized by the campaign group Nineteen Nurses, discussed the growing calls for an independent review into Letby's conviction.
The medical staff, representing hospitals across the UK, expressed mounting fears that Letby is a victim of a grave miscarriage of justice. This sentiment has been bolstered by recent media coverage, including an ITV documentary series and an article by Peter Hitchens in the Mail on Sunday, which have questioned Letby's guilt. Furthermore, a panel of 14 scientists and medical experts has presented new evidence arguing that many of the deaths can be explained by natural causes.
