The NHS across health and social care in Merseyside, Wirral, Warrington and West Lancashire (MWWWL) have a bold and exciting vision to improve the maternity experience across their geographical footprint. The ‘Improving ME’ Programme aims to support a sustainable and cost effective range of maternity services that meets the needs of their local communities today and in the future. The objectives of the Improving ME Programme are:

• To provide safe, high quality, equitable maternity services.
• To reduce variation across maternity services and improve outcomes.
• To offer informed choices for ante-natal, birth and post-natal care.
• To deliver excellent experiences for women, babies and their families.
• To align with other reviews and NHS priorities which promote localised service delivery.
• To support individuals in prioritising their own health and wellbeing by adopting facilitative and enabling approaches which support individuals to be more autonomous and in control.

Did you know, cervical screening is not a test for cancer. It helps prevent cervical cancer by checking for certain types of the human papilloma virus (HPV), found in more than 99% of cervical cancers.

Even if you have had your HPV vaccine, it’s important to attend your cervical screening appointment.

Cervical Screening saves lives, together let’s eliminate cervical cancer.
