Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin Maternity Voices is part of the Local Maternity and Neonatal System and is a partnership of Experts by Experience (Mums, Dads and Families), Service Providers, Commissioners and Other Professionals who have an interest in improving the maternity services in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin for the benefit of both patients and staff.

We don’t discuss individual cases or handle complaints but we look for themes in feedback and for suggestions for improvements. We collate the survey results every three months, and then share the themes we find with the Local Maternity and Neonatal System for them to use this information to shape the future of maternity services. Please note this is not a formal complaint procedure and if you wish to make a formal complaint please go back to your care provider. You can also make an official complaint via Patient Advice and Liason Service (PALS).

If you would like to find out more or get involved with our work, please email Maternity.voices@nhs.net. Your email will be treated in confidence, and your details kept confidential unless you agree otherwise.

Please fill in as many questions as you can, as your experience and thoughts are important and help make a difference to local maternity care. The information gathered by Healthwatch Telford and Wrekin from this survey will only be used for the purposes of this project and anonymous results from the survey will only be shared with partners of the Local Maternity and Neonatal System including Telford and Wrekin Council and NHS England to help them transform the services that they provide.
