This week we are supporting The Motherhood Group with their Black Maternal Mental Health week. This week aims to raise awareness of mental health disparities, promote culturally safe care, and drive systemic change for Black mothers and birthing people. You can find further information on The Motherhood Group page.

We would welcome any feedback both positive or where improvements are needed, from our local black and brown women and birthing people who have recently had a baby with SASH Maternity and or SASH Neonatal Unit. You can share feedback with us by email, phone or through our surveys that can be found in our bio link. Your feedback really does matter and can really help support changes and improvements to your local services.

We want to hear from you in our surveys, and here is how and where to find them. ⬆️

We would love for anyone who has had a baby with or to complete our main standing survey to tell us about your full journey. We really value the positive feedback as well as those areas of improvements, and the positive feedback always gets passed on and is used for the teams to understand what is working well and what should be continued.

If you have a particular area you wish to share feedback on, check out our smaller surveys. We have the following currently running:
🤰🏾 Gestational diabetes
🏥 Pre- existing diabetes
👩‍⚕️ Early pregnancy unit experience
🍼Infant feeding experience
👩‍💻Antenatal Education

As an MNVP we collate the feedback themes monthly and quarterly, and share these directly with team leads and matrons, and the senior leadership team. Your voice really can make a huge difference to shaping your local services 💫

🌍🤱 World Breastfeeding Week 🤱🌍

We know from our own experiences and those of you we speak to regularly, that feeding your baby is always a highly emotive subject. We want to acknowledge the differing feeding journeys women and their partners go through full of love and determination but also sometimes alongside tears, tough decisions, pain and the need to seek support.

this year is shining a particular global spotlight on nutrition, food security, and poverty reduction with the theme ‘Breastfeeding for a Sustainable Start in Life: Strengthen What Works.’

At SaSH MNVP we are so passionate about ensuring all women get the feeding support they need and get all the information for them to make the best choices for them and their families and to be able to breastfeed for as long as they wish. We will be sharing the support available to you throughout the week in our stories so make sure to get screenshotting if you are pregnant or recently had a baby.

We always want to listen to you—women, birthing people, partners and families—so we can better understand what support looks like and where services need to do better. Your feedback helps shape real change in how care is delivered across maternity and neonatal services. You can find our infant feeding survey in our bio link.
