Supporting the NHS provide equity in maternity

 

Our digital platforms are a practical and impactful solution to the challenges around antenatal information provision and stretched NHS resources.

Core20PLUS5

Aligned with Core20PLUS5, The Real Birth Company addresses UK health inequalities by providing accessible evidence-based healthcare information and support.

Our digital resources have been designed to be flexible and responsive to local demographic and cultural needs, improving trust and fostering confidence between birthing families and the midwives supporting them.
We completed our face-to-face training with Zoe and Sarah in February this year in order to deliver a fantastic face to face parent education program, preparing our services users for birth. We started by using the digital platform of this program and we have now progressed to face to face delivery in three different locations of our community. The uptake of the digital program has been fantastic. With the data sets that are being returned to us by the Real Birth Company, we are gaining access to some of the more difficult to reach to groups such as teenagers, who don’t tend to access face to face classes.
