Working in partnership to improve
Maternity & Neonatal Services across Sussex
University Hospitals Sussex Maternity & Neonatal Voices Partnership (MNVP) are a partnership of parents and health professionals from Brighton & Hove, Haywards Heath, Worthing and Chichester who work together to improve local maternity services. If you have ideas or suggestions about improving maternity services we want to hear from you.
​
We work across the following hospitals;
-
The Royal Sussex County in Brighton
-
Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath
-
Worthing Hospital, Worthing
-
St Richard's Hospital, Chichester
​​
MNVP's ensure that service users’ voices are at the heart of decision-making in maternity and neonatal services by being embedded within the leadership of provider trusts and feeding into the LMNS. This influences improvements in the safety, quality, and experience of maternity and neonatal care.​
