Your feedback is already making a difference - 18 additional staff for JPUH Maternity department!

Recently the Birth Voices team have been very busy working through the survey feedback we have received. This has all been passed (anonymised) on to the Head of Midwifery and the Clinical Commissioning Group.

​We'd like to say a huge thank you to those who have provided us their feedback, it has already helped to make a positive difference to women using local maternity services.

• We have identified a real mix of responses regarding postnatal care on ward 11. This is going to be our next area of focus where we try to understand in more detail why this may be.
• Antenatal, Labour/Delivery and Postnatal in the Community all faired more positively overall in comparison.

We are also thrilled to be able to tell you that 18  midwives have been recruited to the team at James Paget! This is brilliant news for women locally, I'm sure you'll agree! It also sees an end to agency staff being regularly used to support the team and should provide women with more consistent care. This is something that women have said is important to them.

This week Birth Voices are getting together for our full committee meeting and will have more updates for you soon.
