The NHS across health and social care in Merseyside, Wirral, Warrington and West Lancashire (MWWWL) have a bold and exciting vision to improve the maternity experience across their geographical footprint. The ‘Improving ME’ Programme aims to support a sustainable and cost effective range of maternity services that meets the needs of their local communities today and in the future. The objectives of the Improving ME Programme are:

• To provide safe, high quality, equitable maternity services.
• To reduce variation across maternity services and improve outcomes.
• To offer informed choices for ante-natal, birth and post-natal care.
• To deliver excellent experiences for women, babies and their families.
• To align with other reviews and NHS priorities which promote localised service delivery.
• To support individuals in prioritising their own health and wellbeing by adopting facilitative and enabling approaches which support individuals to be more autonomous and in control.

This years theme for International Women’s Day is
Rights - Justice - Action.

🚨Key research has found non‑English speaking women are 25x more likely to die during pregnancy or after birth.

❗️This is unacceptable & must be urgently addressed❗️

This we’re taking action and tackling the issue head on through our collaborative initiative ESOL Baby Steps.

🟨ESOL Baby Steps is a free, community-led resource helping new mother and pregnant women build language, confidence and connection.

🟨Find out more about our collaborative initiative,

Can I attend a breastfeeding support group before baby arrives? Yes, and it’s a great idea to!

Attending a group before baby arrives gives you time to ask questions, practice hold positions with a doll and learn more about feeding. In addition, it’s a great opportunity to meet other new parents and get familiar with the group set up and staff/ breastfeeding supporter.

There are lots of local support groups around Cheshire and Merseyside, speak to your midwife about groups in your area.
