Our Maternity and Neonatal Safety Champions
Our Maternity and Neonatal Safety Champions play an important role in helping us provide safe, high-quality care for women, babies and families throughout their maternity and neonatal journey.
Working across our maternity, obstetric and neonatal services, our Safety Champions include front-line to board level staff who help to promote a culture where safety, learning and continuous improvement are part of everyday practice. They work closely with staff, families and healthcare partners to share learning, encourage open conversations and support positive changes that enhance care.
By listening to feedback and learning from experiences, our Safety Champions help ensure that the voices of women, babies, families and staff continue to shape and improve the services we provide.
