MNHQ here: we're after some examples of good miscarriage health care

Hello all

As (hopefully) lots of you will know, we're running an ongoing Miscarriage Care Campaign, asking healthcare providers deliver care that matches up to the five points of our code - which are:

  1. Supportive staff
  2. Access to scanning
  3. Appropriate treatment spaces
  4. Good information and effective treatment
  5. Joined-up care.

Andy Burnham has , and Norman Lamb (the LibDem Health Minister) has personally signed up and is going to try to get it into the LibDem manifesto.

(We're still working on Jeremy Hunt for the Conservatives: if you'd like to add your voice asking for their commitment, have a look here.)

One of the things that would be really useful now is to know which hospitals and healthcare trusts are delivering good miscarriage care.

So if your personal experience of healthcare during your miscarriage was good (as much as these things can ever be), we'd be really grateful if you could tell the us which hospital and/or healthcare trust is, in your opinion, getting it right.

This will help to persuade the politicians that it can be done, and needn't cost enormous sums to get right.

If you'd rather do this off-board, do please email us at [email protected] and put 'FAO Rowan' in the subject line.

Many thanks
MNHQ

Thank you Leela5. Wishing you all the best Flowers

And thanks Dulcet, that's very helpful and good to hear.

Hello

Thank you very much for these. It's good to know that there are some units getting it right. (We take your point, Madrigals, about patchy care though.)

Please do keep posting - one way to account for the patchiness that Madrigals mentions is to see whether we get a few back-pats for particular hospitals from different posters. Going on what's been posted so far, Barnsley and the Lister Hospital seem to be doing particularly well?

Thanks again all. It's really good to read about examples of good care.

slightlyconfused85 - so sorry to hear that you're going through this right now. Best wishes from MNHQ Flowers

FWIW we agree that most of this isn't about buildings and equipment - it's about good training and empathetic staff, and joined-up communication between different services within the NHS. Having examples of trusts that are achieving this helps us to show the politicians that it can be done - and is being done, in some places.

Please keep 'em coming - corroboration is very useful. (And thanks madrigals for that link.)

Thanks
MNHQ
