The National Maternity and Neonatal Investigation has launched a Call for Evidence today, which asks parents and families to share their experiences of neonatal and maternity care.
This National Investigation is an important opportunity to have your voice heard and to help the Investigation Team understand the reality of neonatal care - both to recognise good care, and to inform future improvements. In the surveys, there are open-text boxes where you can say in your own words, and in as much detail as you want to, what your baby's neonatal care was like, how you were supported and what went well or could have been improved.
We also wanted to acknowledge that we don't think the Call for Evidence goes far enough to capture how neonatal care is experienced by babies, their parents and their wider families. We're particularly disappointed that dads and non-birthing parents are not asked about how involved they were in their baby's care, whether they were able to stay on the unit as much as they wanted to, or how informed they were about their baby's condition.
However, this remains an important opportunity to share your experiences of neonatal care, and we would encourage you to do so.
You can take part in the survey here, before the closing date of 17 March: https://matneoinv.pulse.ly/c7hwowxdyl
