Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust - Maternity Services

20/04/2026

Hi everyone 💛
We’re looking for feedback from those who have experienced an induction of labour (IOL) at our Trust since September 2025.
Over the past few months, we’ve been working to improve the experiences of induction, based on feedback you previously shared with us. We’d really like to know whether these changes are making a positive difference.
If you’ve had an induction of labour recently, we’d be very grateful if you could take a few minutes to complete our short survey. Your views are completely confidential and will help shape and improve maternity care for other women and families.
The survey only takes a few minutes and will be open for another four weeks. You can access it using the link code below.
Thank you so much for helping us improve our service 💕

Thanks so much to all at Leyland Masonic Fellowship for kindly inviting us to come and tell you all about Baby Beat and what we do to make a difference for the babies, mums, and mums-to-be cared for here at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust earlier this week 🙏

Your baby should sleep in the same room as you, day and night, for at least the first six months to help reduce the risk of SIDS. It’s fine to nip to the loo or make a quick cuppa - just keep your baby close and in the same room as much as possible

🌎 Using second-hand baby products is a great way to save money, and it’s better for the environment too.

However, there are a few things to be aware of this before you use something pre-owned to make sure they’re suitable for your baby, such as:

• Making sure you can get hold of the product’s instructions.

• Ensuring British safety standards are in place - this should be stated on the product itself, on the product’s packaging, or on the website.

• Checking for any product recalls - Search online to check the product hasn’t been recalled or deemed unsafe on the https://gov.uk/ website: https://orlo.uk/KyiVj

• All in one piece - Make sure the product is in good condition with no broken or missing parts.

More information on buying safe pre-owned mattresses, car seats and more can be found on the Lullaby Trust website ➡️ https://orlo.uk/78Bup

Thank you so much to all involved at Gregson Lane Baby and Toddler Group, Hoghton, who donated a generous £100 to us recently! 🥰

🍰 They held a raffle and a cake sale to raise the funds. They chose to support us as the group, in the 40 years it's been in existence, has cared for many babies (even generations of babies!) who have been born here at the Sharoe Green Unit at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and they wanted to support the next generation of babies that they will welcome through their doors 🤗
