We care about your care!
This message board is here so that you can let us have your comments, ideas and suggestions about the care you or your partner have received during pregnancy, labour or in the early weeks with your new baby. It would be helpful to us if when you post your message, you tell us when your experience dates from.
The board is public, so by posting here, you’ll be sharing what you have to say with everyone who looks at it. However, if you’d like to make some comments in confidence, you can do so by clicking the box marked ‘private’ below. Confidential comments are seen only by the MSLC’s user members (non health professionals).
Please note that the board isn’t for making complaints. If you want to complain about an aspect of your care, speak to your midwife, GP or health visitor, or ring the Rosie (01223 245151) and ask to speak to a Supervisor of Midwives. You can also contact PALS (Patient Advice and Liaison Service).
