Reporting on innovation and improvement in midwifery services
This study into innovation and improvements in maternity services, published by the Royal College of Midwives and the Involvement and Participation Association, shows how midwives are leading on improving services for women and families and, crucially, generating savings. The study looks at examples of innovative practice from across England, including:
- Pioneering apprenticeship programme for maternity support workers at Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
- Innovative programme aimed at empowering midwives to redesign work within the maternity unit at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust
- Large scale programme in NHS South Central region which harnessed the power of networks to drive change
- The role of team leaders in modernising and improving midwifery services at East Cheshire NHS Trust
