Maternity Voice Partnership (MVP)
Parent and family representatives are working in partnership with midwives, doctors and other health professionals to help improve future maternity care to women, partners, families and babies. In Leeds, this is called a Maternity Voices Partnership (MVP).
Volunteers Wanted to Support the Programme
For the programme to work successfully we would like to recruit some volunteers to gather information from other families.
This could be done in lots of different ways – through asking for feedback at meetings/groups you already attend, through looking at the results of the ongoing questionnaire, or through visiting clinical areas and feeding what you have found back into the main meetings.
We are aiming to collect feedback from all sorts of people who represent the wide variety of families in Leeds.
This will be an exciting time to raise awareness around the importance of the maternity services, to make sure that seldom heard voices are heard, and to contribute to future developments in maternity services.
You will be fully supported and given all training and information that you need, with travel and childcare expenses being paid. We would need you to be able to commit to 1-2 hours per month.
If you would like to know more about the programme please contact Aneira Thomas at Aneira@womenshealthmatters.org.uk
