National Maternity Voices offers online training on a pay per place basis, as well as bespoke training packages for your region, Local Maternity & Neonatal System or local Maternity & Neonatal Voices Partnership. The bespoke training can be multidisciplinary, or designed especially for service user members or MNVP leads. It can be delivered face to face or online. This training is designed to support collaborative working and help ensure MNVPs are effective as possible.

“the single most useful event I have attended since beginning in post”

Training for MNVP Leads
Our previous four hour training has been reformatted to the sessions above. To complement self study of the NHSE’s Induction to MNVPs e-learning modules we plan to offer a 1 hour Reflective discussion – a chance for MNVP leads to ask questions and discuss practical issues with peers and an experienced lead facilitator.
Bespoke Training
Training can be tailored for clinical staff, commissioners/managers, host organisations, service users or lay leadership, and we particularly recommend bringing all of these people together in a multidisciplinary group. Many people find their MNVP becomes more productive after developing a common understanding in such training.
Sample content for a full day multidisciplinary training :
- The purpose of a Maternity & Neonatal Voices Partnership, a brief history and recent guidance
- The importance and value of coproduction
- How to gather feedback ensuring that all voices in the community are heard
- Making MNVPs inclusive and diverse and amplifying the voices of Black, Asian, and Minoritised Ethnic groups
- Membership: who should be a member of your MNVP? How to attract members and who is missing?
- Exploring barriers to multidisciplinary working and how these can be overcome
- Reflective practice and what is expected of an MNVP member (service users and health care professionals)
- Setting priorities and forming workplans
Co-production Training:
“Great training: I enjoyed being in our trust groups…..space for really great discussions and opened communication”
“Learnt a lot about what coproduction actually means”
The co-production training is a powerful learning experience that allows clinicians and service users the time and space to reflect on their barriers to co-production and the strategies to overcome them. This dedicated time allows all involved to truly understand what co-production is and how they can alter leadership styles to move up the ladder of engagement by assessing gaps in their approach and action planning to embed co-production in their everyday business.
