How to get involved

How to get involved and spread the word about your local MNVP!

We want everyone using maternity and neonatal services in Humber and North Yorkshire to know about their local Maternity and Neonatal Voices Partnership (MNVP) and to have the chance to have their say and offer feedback about their experiences.

You can do this in a number of ways:

Like and share about us on social media - links are on the Your MNVPs pages.
Take one of our leaflets for your expectant relatives, friends and colleagues when you see us at various events at the hospitals and in the community. Please contact us if you want to know where we will be in the coming weeks and months.
Tell us about any local groups or events we could attend to listen to people’s experiences.
Come along to one of our meetings, details are on the Your MNVPs pages.
Or please click here to complete a short survey to share your feedback directly with us.

Become an MNVP Service User Representative

Service user representatives include people who have recently used local maternity and neonatal services, those with an interest in improving maternity and neonatal care, and others who work with pregnant and new parents. They share the views of people who have given us feedback and represent people using maternity and neonatal services in meetings to make sure everyone’s voice is heard even if that voice is a whisper. Our service user representatives also gather feedback from people on the hospital wards, in the community, by visiting independent groups, attending community events and visiting groups at our children’s centres. This feedback is anonymous and, by regularly listening to new parents, we get a clear picture of what it’s like to have a baby now.
