Over the coming months National Maternity Voices will be delivering a series of webinars, co-created with NHS England, aimed at everyone involved in the development and transformation of maternity care through co-production with women and their families.
The series kicks off this month on Tuesday morning (16th July 10:30am) with the topic “Ensuring MVPs are safe spaces for all ethnicities.” The webinar will explore how we can make sure that parents from black and minority ethnic groups feel welcome and able to get involved in their Maternity Voices Partnerships and what can we do as MVPs to address the adverse maternity outcomes experienced by black and asian women and their babies. We invite both service user and NHS staff to join us for this participatory webinar to share ideas about what practical action we can take.
Contributors will include:
- Jacqui Dunkley-Bent, England’s Chief Midwifery Officer: why it’s important for women of all ethnicities to be able to get involved in shaping maternity services through their MVP.
- Toyin Adeyinka, Chair of Lewisham MVP and Maryann O-Connor, Chair of Greenwich MVP: our experiences of working to increase diversity and to reduce inequality.
Further details about the webinar, including how to access it (once available), can be found on the Facebook event page.
