Maternity work programmes
- Support implementation of the national maternity review recommendations
- Support implementation of the Saving Babies Lives care bundle to reduce stillbirths
- Support local commissioners and providers to share information, best practice and learning, to benchmark against each other and drive improvement in the quality of services across the region, with a relentless focus on the outcomes of care
- Support local commissioners and providers in ensuring that specialist services are available to women and babies with more complex needs as close to their homes as possible, and that clear pathways are in place linking maternity, neonatal and paediatric services
- Work with the clinical commissioning group assessment panel for maternity to provide local intelligence to inform annual assessments, and support those health economies who are rated “requires improvement” or “inadequate” to improve
