Northamptonshire Maternity and Neonatal Voices Partnership (MNVP) is a working group made up of women, birthing people and families. The MNVP is supported by local Integrated Care Board (ICB) and maternity services from our hospital trusts. The MNVP is an independent forum which has been set up to listen to and speak for service users who have accessed local maternity and neonatal services.
The MNVP can be contacted by email ([email protected] ), via social media or at our face to face sessions across the county.
We also have an anonymous online feedback form which can be accessed here.
Zoe
MNVP Champion
Zoe is a new champion for Northamptonshire Maternity and Neonatal Voices Partnership.
"I have lived in Northampton for 4 years now with my husband, and in September 2023 we welcomed our son into the world. Since being pregnant I have found a passion for all things pre and postnatal and want to work hard to try and improve the services used from start to finish.
I am often out and about with my son and attend a number of different groups with him throughout the week! If you do happen to see us please don't hesitate to say hello and if you do have any feedback about any services you have used, good or bad, big or small, then I would be happy to discuss this with you. All feedback will be anonymous and no personal information recorded or stored.
We want to make sure everyone is represented from all backgrounds and so my aim along with other MNVP Champions is to hear all voices, even the whispers. Keep an eye out on our page to find out more about ways to help have your say and improve maternity & neonatal services."
WE NEED YOU!

Ellie
KGH Champion
Ellie is the Kettering General Hospital champion for Northamptonshire Maternity & Neonatal Voices Partnership.
"I’m a mother to three children; my 2 boys and our little girl. I had an instrumental delivery at KGH for my first, a waterbirth at KGH during the first lockdown for my second and a homebirth for my third, and I hope my different birthing experiences can support my role.
Within this role, I will be liaising with KGH Maternity and Neonatal Services to feedback to you all, and also supporting the MVP Chair.
I would love to hear from you if you have any suggestions, compliments or concerns regarding your experiences with KGH Maternity and Neonatal Services, so please do contact me via this page or the MVP email address if you would prefer ([email protected])."
