Maternity event - join our community conversation

We are hosting a community conversation with women, birthing people, partners and supporters who have recently accessed our maternity services.

On Wednesday 10 July, 10am - 2pm, members of the UHDB maternity team will be at the Pirelli Stadium, Burton on Trent, having a conversation with our communities about improvements we are making to our maternity services.

It is open to anyone who has accessed UHDB maternity services or neonatal services over the last two years, and is an opportunity for you to share your ideas, based on your personal experience, about how we can continue to improve maternity and neonatal services.

The day is designed to be informal and will be an open, welcoming space for you to share your experiences, ideas and suggestions about how we can continue to improve our maternity services.

Children and babies are welcome and a buffet lunch is provided which will be appropriate for adults and children. 

The session will begin with an introduction from members of the maternity team and throughout the day you will also have the option to take part in some focused conversations to share your views on some key areas.


Conversation topics will include:

  • Are we offering equitable services to all birthing people?
  • How do you want us to communicate with you during your pregnancy and after?
  • Induction of labour
  • Informed consent

Our specialist Patient Experience team will also be on hand to listen to you in a confidential space if you would like to share your feedback privately. 

The event will be child-friendly and there will be:

  • Pushchair parking available
  • Baby changing facilities
  • Children and baby area
  • Lunch provided for adults and children
  • Feeding friendly and bottle making facilities
