MNVPs work together on all parts of maternity and neonatal care, from pre-conception, pregnancy and birth to six months after birth.

 

Key topics include:

 

• Infant feeding support

• Bereavement support

• Choice and personalisation

• Perinatal mental health

​

Co-production, involving the people using services when developing services, is a key part of the Partnership in Maternity Voices Partnerships and of Better Births – the Maternity Transformation programme currently happening in England.

​

We work as a group of Maternity Voices and Neonatal Partnerships in Humber and North Yorkshire as part of both the National Maternity Voices (NMV) which is the association of independent lay leaders of Maternity and Neonatal Voices Partnerships, and the Humber and North Yorkshire Local Maternity and Neonatal System (LMNS) to make sure the views of parents from across our area are heard as changes are made to implement Better Births here.
