At the Maternity Voices Partnership meetings, which are held every 2 months, parents and representatives of parents support groups meet with midwives and other medical staff, as well as staff who manage the service.
ALL OUR MEETINGS ARE CURRENTLY HELD ONLINE
The MVP members work in partnership to improve maternity services.
Topics range from care during pregnancy, antenatal scans, parenthood classes, to care in labour, infant feeding choices and the care of mother and baby once they are back home. We review what information is available to help mothers and their partners decide what is best for themselves and their baby.
The committee makes recommendations to the clinical management staff and to the Health Board and follows up any action that has been agreed.
The meetings are currently held online but normally take place in Edinburgh in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, 51 Little France Crescent, Old Dalkeith Road, Edinburgh, EH16 4SA on Thursday mornings (10:00 am to 12:00 pm). Members’ travelling expenses are reimbursed.
