There are a number of ways in which you, your partner and your wider family can get involved with our MVP activities.

  • Attend one of our Main MVP Meetings – we hold three per year with attendance from both maternity teams from Airedale General Hospital and Bradford Royal Infirmary.
  • Attend one of our All Things Maternity Platform Sessions -we hold three per year providing a safe space for parents and voluntary community sector organisation to share their thoughts, feelings and experiences. The issues and actions arising from these sessions are fedback to the main meetings.
  • Attend or even help us organise one of our Events e.g. Birth Story Cafes and Better Births Community Engagement Events – providing individuals with an opportunity to meet with maternity services and care providers, voluntary community sector services, share their views around themes such as digital inclusion, birthing experiences, parent education classes, breastfeeding, Covid vaccine uptake and many other themes.
  • Taking part and share your views and experiences via surveys and consultations which will help shape and improve maternity services across Bradford and Craven. All findings are fedback into our Main Meeting and shared with maternity care providers.
