A Maternity Voices Partnership (MVP) is an NHS working group: a team of service users and their families, commissioners, and providers (midwives and doctors) working together to review and contribute to the development of local maternity care using lived experience to contribute to transforming maternity care. There are local MVP teams across Sussex who are championing the service user’s voice. Follow the links below to find out more about what your local MVP is doing and how to join a meeting.
