Overview

Our Maternity and Neonatal Voices Partnership (MNVP) is a team of local parents and health professionals. We believe that every pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience should be safe, supportive, and empowering.

We work together to improve our services and deliver equitable care, with a focus on people who are at disproportionate risk.

By joining our partnership, you'll have the opportunity to share your experiences, insights, and ideas with us. You will be part of a collaborative effort to identify and address challenges, celebrate successes, and drive improvements in maternity and neonatal services.

Our meetings

We meet every other month. These sessions are usually online but we let members know if there's an opportunity to meet in person.

If you're a member, we let you know the time and location of the next meeting, and share any joining instructions in advance.

Upcoming meetings:

• Friday 20 November 2026 (online) 

Our members

Members of our partnership include:

• midwives, nurses, health visitors, doctors and managers
• women, birthing people and families from a diverse range of backgrounds
• members of the wider community such as birth workers and charities

Members work together as equals. We recognise that each person brings a different set of experiences, skills and unique perspectives that contribute to the strength of the partnership.
