Better Care Together – have your say in improving healthcare services for women.


Better Care Together

Better Care Together

Better Care Together is a five year plan which aims to improve services and people’s experiences of health and social care by focussing on prevention and care, while at the same time addressing major financial challenges. Our Women’s service, which includes maternity, care of premature babies and gynaecology, is one of the focus areas where changes need to be made.

The listening event and workshop is open to the public and will take place at The Big Shed in Freemans Common, Leicester from 6pm-8pm on Wednesday 3 June. During this event clinicians from Leicester’s Hospitals will guide attendees through how these services are currently delivered and explain why there is a need for change. There will then be the opportunity to input into and share how the services should best be delivered for patients and families.


Ian Scudamore, Consultant Obstetrician and Clinical Director of Women’s and Children’s services at Leicester’s Hospitals, said: “Working with local people, Better Care Together will help us create safe, high quality and sustainable services that parents want to choose and are proud of. We want to make sure our services are right for the women who use them, so we need to hear your views.”
