Who are we?
A Maternity & Neonatal Voices Partnership (MNVP) is a team of people who provide feedback about and help coproduce their local maternity and neonatal services.
MNVPs are led by people who have used maternity services, not health professionals. However, the membership includes maternity professionals (like midwives and doctors), maternity related organisations and people with direct personal experience of the service, including women who have been pregnant and given birth and their family members.
Gateway Family Services is the facilitator of MNVPs for Birmingham & Solihull and all of the Black Country, which includes Dudley, Sandwell & West Birmingham, Walsall and Wolverhampton.
The MNVPs are supported by Coordinators. Lynsey Roberts in Birmingham & Solihull and Nadia Griffin in the Black Country.
What we do?
The MNVP engages with families and Maternity & Neonatal services in a wide variety of ways. These include:
- Meeting at least four times a year.
- Conducting and sharing surveys and questionnaires.
- Holding ‘Listening’ events.
- Informal chats at baby groups and Maternity settings.
- and many more…
The meetings bring members together to share stories and opinions on different topics and their experiences of maternity services in a safe and accepting space.
