Instagram Lives
Our MVP is passionate about making maternity services relevant to service users. We have been successfully using Instagram lives to talk about the things that are important to you. We use surveys called Feedback Fridays to inform the lives, where we ask members of the maternity team all of your burning questions.
We don't have all of our Instagram lives on here, so please take a look at our YouTube channel if you would like to see more.
