We are embedding the use of Birth Rate Plus reporting tool to ensure that any escalations are timely and used to support the development of the service to ensure it is safe for our service users.

We are collaboratively working with our Neonatal team and from January 2024 will be a Maternity & Neonatal Team working in partnership to ensure babies are born in the right place, with the right teams and support.
