Meet Your MNVP Lead
Kimberley Boyd
MNVP Lead for North and North East Lincolnshire
About
I am a mum of two girls aged 13 and 18 years. My own personal maternity experiences were not the most positive and this has always been a drive in my own business which I have run for the last 10 years, supporting women and families before, during and after the birth of their baby.
I have been involved with the MNVP as a volunteer for a few years now. Since becoming a Doula in 2018, I have been keen to be involved with helping women and birthing people and their families in the area to have their voices heard and to provide a non-judgemental and open space where they can do that. I am also passionate about informed choice and improving information shared to service users to help improve user experience and improve outcomes. So when the Lead position came up it was a bit of a no-brainer to go for it and be more involved and step it up a gear!
Interests
All areas interest me, I eat sleep and breathe all things pregnancy, birth, postnatal and parenting. I’m particularly pro informed choice and evidence based information sharing to enable parents to make decisions that are right for them. Supporting breastfeeding and maternal mental health are also areas I am keen on.
What would you like to achieve as MNVP Lead?
I want to raise the profile of the MNVP in our area and create a solid service user representative group. I would also like to ensure we reach all groups of users, including those who are under represented or unheard, inclusively is a key aim of mine.
