Whilst packing your hospital bag, if you're planning on bottle feeding, don't forget your bottles and infant formula. ESNEFT Maternity Page issues a gentle reminder. Got any questions about feeding? Just ask a midwife during your antenatal appointments.

These reports are helping maternity services across the country strengthen the care they provide. This includes placing greater emphasis on:

Listening to you and taking your concerns seriously

Involving you in decisions about your care

Providing personalised care that reflects your individual needs and preferences

Improving communication between healthcare professionals

Learning from feedback and experiences to continually improve services.

As your independent local MNVP, we work in partnership with families, maternity services, and NHS organisations to ensure the voices and experiences of women, birthing people, partners, and families help shape local maternity care. We gather feedback—both positive experiences and areas where care could be improved—and use this to influence meaningful change.

A little ask... If you have recently used the maternity triage service at Colchester or Ipswich ESNEFT Maternity Page, we would love to hear your feedback—whether positive or negative. Your comments will help us understand what worked well, identify areas for improvement, and shape changes that make a real difference for pregnant women, birthing people, and their families. Every voice matters, and your feedback could help improve care and experiences for others in the future. Please share your thoughts with us. Comment below or drop us an email at [email protected]
Thank you.
