The parents of a baby boy who died from a treatable bacterial infection say they are working to help others avoid a similar tragedy.
Tim and Hannah Taylor-Smith lost Zachary in November 2022 from a condition called Group B strep (GBS) just 14 hours after his birth at the Royal Derby Hospital.
An inquest last year heard neglect had contributed to his death, and the trust which runs the hospital said it was "deeply sorry".
Now Mr and Mrs Taylor-Smith, from Lichfield in Staffordshire, are working with the hospital trust to improve how it works with families as well as fundraising for a related charity.
GBS is a bacterial infection found in the vagina, rectum and bowel in 20 to 40% of women.
GBS only presents a risk when passed to a baby around the time of labour, but as carriers have no symptoms, it can be difficult to spot.
Chesterfield Coroner's Court was told Zachary was born at 36 weeks after his mother was induced because of recurrent asthma attacks.
The inquest had heard he was initially healthy, but deteriorated.
Midwives previously told the inquest "incorrect" actions were taken and that it was an error that Zachary was not reviewed by the neo-natal team.
University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust (UHDB), which runs the hospital, admitted that had antibiotics been given to his mum before his birth, or if Zachary had been treated for infection after birth, his death from Group B strep could have been prevented.
