Personalised Maternity Care & Perinatal Services Barbara Kuypers NHS England & Health Education England
Scope of Project What are our ambitions for Maternity Services for 2022 and what changes to Maternity Provision might we envisage. Which key areas of service provision require development and what implications will this have for training and preparation of the workforce. How will Trusts meet the NHS Mandate for Choice and Personalised Maternity Care and 1-1 care through out. What Models of care might be required. What should commissioners be seeking when negotiating Service Level Agreements and CQUINs
Background NHS Mandate 1. Offers women choice of providers. 2. Reduces the incident and impact of post natal depression through earlier diagnosis, and better intervention and support. The Mandate for Maternity supports improvements to the care and experience of women and families during pregnancy and in the early years for their children and asks NHS England to ensure that the NHS: 3. That every women has a Named Midwife who is responsible for ensuring she has personalised, one to one care through out pregnancy, childbirth and during the postnatal period, including additional support for those who have a maternal health concerns.
HEE Mandate As part of this ambition, HEE should work with the NHS England and others to ensure that sufficient midwife and other maternity staff are trained and available to provide every woman with personalised, one to one care throughout pregnancy, childbirth and during the post natal period. (HEE Mandate 2012-15 (2.3.3.).
Workforce Requirements Work is already underway with the Centre for Workforce Intelligence looking at the multi-disciplinary workforce requirements for various key pathways of maternity care. The project concentrates on the delivery of a wider workforce able to deliver the care and choices set out within the ambitions of the Mandate by putting in place the necessary actions and levers to ensure that there is an appropriate workforce in place to deliver the capacity and capability required by maternity services in 2022. The project will therefore be included in the Mandate to Health Education England. CfWI just published the Guidelines for Maternity Workforce Planning Pathway Toolkit

Integrated Pathways of Care To encourage models of care that enable integrated working and reflects a group practice philosophy in which midwives have control of their time management. This might reflect an independent social enterprise model for particular categories of women such as those that require additional mental health support (Hull) or for those that are reluctant to access traditional maternity routes of care (Sheffield). To target particular groups of women who have social challenges and who require extra support throughout their pregnancy by multi-faceted teams (a little like the sure start model) which may include midwives and HVs (and social workers) working together longer into the PN period.
