A new survey by NHS England is looking to hear from mothers and birthing partners about recent experiences of antenatal care, labour and birth.

The survey explores how hospitals are using a new NHS maternity guideline called the Saving Babies Lives Care Bundle Version 2. 

The care bundle helps maternity providers improve the care that women and their babies receive throughout pregnancy and birth, with the goal of preventing deaths in and after pregnancy.

By carrying out research into “what works” in the care bundle, we can ensure the NHS delivers the safest care for women and their babies.

The survey is being run by the University of Manchester on behalf of NHS England and the closing date is 31 December 2023.
