Dr Steve Cantellow

A Consultant in Adult Critical Care and current Head of Clinical Services for Emergency and Acute Care at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, Steve’s experience has unveiled how pregnant and recently pregnant women can fall through the gap between maternity and critical care services. This knowledge is a key driver as to why MCCA exists.  

More widely Steve is Maternity Lead for the East Midlands Critical Care Network, a member of the Intensive Care Society’s Maternal Critical Care Steering Group, and an assessor for the UK confidential enquiry into maternal deaths (MBRRACE-UK). He also serves on the European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Scientific Committee (Obstetric Subforum) and contributed to the 2025 European Resuscitation Council Advanced Life Support Guidelines.
