New pregnancy notes: let us have your views

Abstract

Personally held maternity records are used in many parts of the country. However, there is wide variation in the content and design and little consultation with what their main users feel the notes should contain. In the West Midlands, we have undertaken a major review of maternity notes and have produced a draft that has been undergoing region-wide consultation, and a field trial is in progress. We would now like to widen this consultation and ask for your ideas and feedback.
