The partnership is a team of women and their families, NHS representatives, midwives, doctors and other health care professionals who work together to review and contribute to the development of local maternity care.
The partnership is for women who have recently, or are about to give birth at the Royal Victoria Infirmary. They work with our midwives and senior leaders to develop maternity services in Newcastle.
Getting involved with the MVP is a way of engaging with other pregnant women and service users as well as a great forum for sharing feedback about what we’re doing well and areas for improvement.
The MVP have regular meetings to discuss current issues, share information and gather feedback. An agenda will be circulated prior to each meeting for consideration and any additions. Minutes will then be circulated after the meeting.
The partnership is a really great way for your voice to be heard. We have a closed Facebook group, which provides a safe space to support each other and share feedback.
