Maternity improvement resource

What we look for

Shared direction and culture

• How are specific strategies identified to support the development of particular services relevant to population or service improvement need, for example maternity services?
• How do you involve key stakeholders in the development of such strategies?

Workforce equality, diversity and inclusion

• What measures are in place to demonstrate how the integrated care system (ICS) is driving equality, diversity and inclusion in the work and promoting a workforce that represents the ICS population?
• Are there system wide plans for maternity services to implement workforce and leadership which is representative of the population?

Governance, management and sustainability

• What governance structure is in place to ensure safe and effective maternity care across the system? Are there lead/s for maternity within this structure and what is their role?
• How do providers report maternity performance and risk into the governance structure and how is learning shared with all relevant providers?
