Happy International Women's Day to all of our fabulous colleagues and the amazing women of Croydon that we are proud to serve! #IWD2021 #ChoseToChallenge

This week we are highlighting the work done by our teams to ensure we are able to offer as many of our clients as possible #continuityofcarer from a named midwife, in line with #maternitytransformation and #betterbirths. Here's an intro to continuity at CHS!

Meet Crocus - the longest standing #continuityofcarer team at CHS, supporting the women of Croydon to birth at home for over 10 years! If you'd like to enquire about having a home birth yourself, you can contact the team directly via email: [email protected] #homebirth

Leander is another one of our continuity teams, and was established in February 2019! Last year they cared for 354mums and babies...nearly one for every day of the year! Here's a bit more information about how they work...#continuityofcarer #betterbirths

We have been working behind the scenes for the past few months on the HEARD in Maternity campaign, which we are nearly ready to launch. #beheard #yourvoicematters #addressinginequalityinmaternity

This week we are very excited to launch our HEARD in Maternity campaign! Here is our mission statement and the story behind the campaign! Stay tuned all week for more campaign info! Ranee Thakar Manjit roseghini Croydon Health Services NHS Trust

The key focus of the HEARD campaign is making sure that Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic women can rely on their midwives and doctors to listen to their concerns and hear their voices throughout their pregnancy. #beheard #heretolisten

We have had such a busy and exciting International Day of the Midwife here at Croydon Maternity, promoting the HEARD campaign to our staff, culminating in a Webinar this evening to share our work! Thanks so much if you tuned in, and special thanks to all of our speakers! #IDM2021
