Tackling inequalities in maternity care

This briefing summarises the findings from a series of interviews with trust leaders in which they described the barriers and enablers to improvement in maternity services, with a particular focus on health inequalities. Drawing on these conversations, and NHS Providers’ longer-term work in this area, the briefing sets out calls to action. These look across improving access and preventive care, developing the workforce, working with women and communities, addressing race inequalities, streamlining reporting and unlocking resource.
