Maternity Voice Partnership (MVP) Engagement Workshop
In February the Local Maternity System facilitated an engagement workshop attended by MVP Chairs, engagement leads, maternity colleagues and VCS partners with the aim of increasing and improving engagement and diversity of those using services across the Local Maternity System. The LMS identified that MVPs need further support, and are currently exploring with VCS colleagues how this can be provided.

Maternity services development workshop, summary findings November 2022
The Harnessing the power of communities programme has worked with the WY&H LMNS on understanding more about the maternity journey – what works well and what we might do better. The final insight report is a summary of the work undertaken with Thrive by Design. This was presented to the LMNS board on Tuesday 22 November, 2022 The workshop has provided valuable information that will go into all the workstreams and an asset map was developed to improve working with the voluntary sector. This is really important as the board also heard how poverty is impacting on pregnant people.
