Birth Reflections
About the service
The Birth Reflections Service is provided by midwives to allow parents to explore their birth experience and give them the opportunity to clarify events. The feedback is used to facilitate positive changes in maternity care by identifying areas we can improve and by recognising what we are doing well.
The service was set up in response to feedback that women and people who had given birth with us were looking for a greater understanding of their birth and events related to it.
It appeared the best way to address this was to provide a midwife-led service that explored and explained birth events in a friendly environment.
