What is the Maternity Neonatal Voices Partnership?

We are a group of parents, volunteers and professionals who work together to help shape and develop maternity services in Bradford District and Craven.

The Maternity Neonatal Voices Partnership (MNVP) also hold regular informal sessions at Maternity Circles across the district and attend events to hear from individual parents and voluntary community sector partners. We work on a number of collaborative projects with both maternity teams and other partners, to improve people's experiences of care.

We meet around every 8-12 weeks, with our main meetings involving partner agencies including Directors of Maternity and Community Midwifery Teams from Airedale General Hospital and Bradford Royal Infirmary.

You can see what was discussed during our last meeting on the right of this page in the 'documents' section.

At the meetings we hear updates from local maternity services and organisations supporting women and families, and we encourage questions. We are also starting to think about what we want to work on next year - we are keen to hear your ideas!

If you'd like to join us, or receive details of meetings please sign up to our mailing list
