North Kirklees Maternity Voices Partnership MVP

North Kirklees Maternity Voices Partnership MVP We want to hear about your experiences so we can work to improve the local maternity services.

The Maternity Voices Partnership, or MVP, is for anyone living in North Kirklees who is pregnant, has recently given birth, or is the partner of someone who is. The North Kirklees MVP is a working group, welcoming women, birthing people and their families, as well as commissioners and healthcare staff including maternity staff, and staff from other organisations to work together to ensure that mat

ernity services are as good as they can be for all of us living in North Kirklees. We are really fortunate to have representatives on the MVP from organisations including health and maternity services, public health, Auntie Pam's, Thriving Kirklees (0-19 service), Locala, Healthwatch, CCG's and more. We meet regularly, providing up to date information on services available to local families, as well as listening to local voices to help facilitate change and development across all of these services. We especially want to hear from people who have used these services, as it's only through hearing real experiences that we can ensure that services continue to improve for everybody who will need them in the future. If you would like any more information or would like to get involved please message us - we'd love to hear from you.

We’re asking for feedback today about the “MY Choices” personalised care booklet - this is the second of three posts!

How could the booklet be improved?

For example, some people have told us they would like more information about how to look around the birth centres, or information about which contact number to ring for different reasons. We’d love to hear your suggestions!

Tell us in the comments or send us a message. One more post to come!

We need your feedback!
In December MY Maternity & Neonatal launched new personalised care plan booklets called “MY Choices for pregnancy, birth and beyond”, a physical paper booklet about your pregnancy and birth that you can fill in and bring to appointments.

Have you seen one? If you have booked in since December for antenatal care, you should have one.

We’re going to post three questions today about these booklets and the first is: What do you like about it? Tell us in the comments below or send a message to our inbox.

If you’ve stayed overnight at Pinderfields or Calderdale whilst pregnant, or after birth, please fill in this survey 💜

Have you ever stayed overnight on the maternity wards at Calderdale or Pinderfields, either whilst you were pregnant or after birth? We’re currently working with staff to improve the information that is available to anyone staying on the ward, and we want to make sure it’s right for as many people as possible.

If you’ve got 5 minutes to fill out this survey and tell us what would have been important for you to know whilst you were staying overnight, we would be very grateful!

If you are pregnant and don’t have any plans on Saturday morning, this is the event for you. We know that appointments aren’t always long enough for you to be able to ask all of your questions and to get the right information about your choices when it comes to having a baby, so a range of staff will be at Dewsbury antenatal clinic (where you’d go for a scan/appointment) this Saturday morning.

Feel free to bring along little ones and family members and maybe even have a peek inside the birth centre if you’re interested. If you have any questions send us a message and please share this post far and wide with anyone who is pregnant 💜
