Proposals include more personalised and safer care, better postnatal and perinatal mental health care, multi-professional working, as well as working across boundaries and a payment system that fairly and adequately compensates providers for delivering high quality care to all women, while supporting commissions for personalisation, safety and choice. The key to success of the framework will be its implementation and the changes in how services are paid for, delivered and commissioned in order to improve women’s safety, experience and outcomes. Some novel recommendations include: * scaling up the provision of continuity of carer and community hubs * developing local maternity systems and networks * rolling out electronic maternity records and apps which will be accessible to women * national benchmarking of indicators, outcome based commissioning and a rapid resolution and redress scheme for birth injuries * changes in payments including the NHS Personal Maternity Care Budgets and a payment system that compensates providers for delivering different types of care to all women These are radical changes that are being pioneered which have the potential to make a real difference, but also are untested in maternity care. This conference will discuss the new framework, bringing together expert speakers in maternity care to give an insight into the seven new priorities and maternity provision. Topics include: * critical discussion of the maternity review and implementation plans * scaling up continuity of carer models * whether NHS personal health budgets have worked * how women plan to use their budgets to have more choice * how new providers of maternity care work The meeting will be of interest to obstetricians, midwives, epidemiologists, nurses, general practitioners, childbirth educators, lactation consultants, scientists, trainees and students. * Member rates begin from £30 * Non member rates begin from £40 group discounts Group discounts are available upon enquiry.
