From Telford CCG – Better Births Review

News - 9 March 2018

Following a national review of maternity services in 2016 a report ‘Better Births’ was published which sets out plans to make care safer and give women greater control and more choice.

Our Local Maternity Transformation (LMS)

The LMS has been set up in response to NHS England’s Better Births report which sets out a vision for safer, more personalised maternity care that reflects women’s choices and offers continuing joined-up care.

NHS organisations, Healthwatch and local councils, are working together as a Local Maternity System (LMS) to design and implement improvements in maternity and neonatal services.

LMS Plan

Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin have established a Local Maternity System (LMS) to ensure service transformation happens at a local level. This Plan describes how the LMS will transform local maternity services by 2020/2.
