Meet the new full team 💜💜💜

Let us introduce you to the new Epsom & St. Helier MNVP team. We have Sophie, the St. Helier Maternity Lead, Bernadette, the Epsom Maternity Lead and Christina, the Neonatal Lead. We're so proud to join together to help improve the services for all families

Come and join Epsom & St Helier MNVP on Thursday the 19th February at Trinco, Oru Space for a coffee and a chat ☕️
⁣
If you are pregnant, or have had your baby under the care of Epsom & St Helier Hospital over the last few years, this will be a really informal way to talk, hear your experiences and gather feedback that we can share with the maternity team at the trust.⁣

We will cover the cost of one drink per person in exchange for your time ☕️
⁣
The MNVP is run by co-leads Sophie & Bernadette who between us have had three babies at Epsom & St Helier hospitals 🏥 over the last 4 years. We work independently to the hospital but collect feedback on their behalf to review and develop the maternity services. This is a safe environment to share openly and candidly 💕 ⁣

Today marks the start of Baby Loss Awareness Week. A time to reflect, honour, and remember every baby gone too soon, and to hold in our hearts the families whose lives have been forever changed.

This week brings together those affected by baby loss, creating space for open conversation, remembrance, and community support. It’s also a time to raise awareness about the impact of pregnancy and baby loss, and to work together for better care and understanding.

You are not alone. 💗

If you or someone you know has been affected by baby loss, there are organisations offering compassionate support:
🤍 Tommy’s – information, research, and support for anyone experiencing pregnancy loss or complications (www.tommys.org)
🤍 Baby Loss Awareness UK – leading this week of reflection, remembrance, and advocacy (www.babyloss-awareness.org)
🤍 The Worst Girl Gang Ever – a community for those navigating miscarriage, stillbirth and baby loss (www.theworstgirlgangever.co.uk)
🤍 MAMA Academy – supporting parents and professionals to make pregnancies safer (www.mamaacademy.org.uk)

We’ll also be joining in the Wave of Light on 15th October — lighting candles at 7pm to remember all babies who are no longer with us. ✨

Let’s keep talking, remembering, and supporting one another. 💫
