I look forward to working with our MVP and all stakeholders to build on what has already been achieved, I am excited to listen and explore the possibilities.

I feel motivated and passionate about the work MNVP does and I’m looking forward to supporting the team and contributing to the positive impact they create.

At the heart of my contribution to MNVP is a commitment to partnership, valuing difference, and supporting maternity and neonatal care that feels respectful, compassionate, and responsive to the needs of all families.

I feel like I would like to be part the change that brings more consistent service to the parents and babies.

I joined the MNVP to improve maternal and infant outcomes. Also the chair asked me!

I've given birth twice at the RBH, resulting in three healthy happy babies. I am thrilled to working with the amazing team there to continue to improve the services.

I’m looking forward to using my professional skills and personal journey through motherhood to help make a difference for families in our wonderfully diverse community here in Reading.

It is the first time in a while that I have felt genuinely excited and enthusiastic about joining a team that does such meaningful work to improve parents’ experiences during those first moments after birth'.

I would never have imagined that improving maternity care would become my passion and main work, but I am so glad to have joined the MNVP. It is the most fulfilling and enjoyable thing I have ever done.

I’ve helped create the Covid feedback survey and have been involved in listening events and I love giving parents the opportunity to share their views.

As a mum of two Buscot babies I have first hand experience of the ups and downs of having a baby in NICU. In this role I'm looking forward to working with our partners in Buscot to help make parents' and babies' experience as positive as it can be.

I am proud to have recently joined the MNVP team. I am a local mum who has birthed twice at RBH and am an active member of the Reading community.

The whole maternity experience is such a precious time in both parents & babies’ lives and it brings me so much joy to be part of shaping that experience for current and future families.

I decided to join so that I could represent the hundreds of women who come to my classes who don't have the time or inclination to join the MNVP meetings. I think it's essential to have a range of professionals and service users at the table. From a personal perspective, I've found that it keeps me up-to-date with what's happening in maternity care.
