MNHQ here: have you got strong feelings and personal experience about partners staying overnight on postnatal wards?

Hello

A broadsheet journalist is looking to write a piece exploring the pros and cons of partners staying overnight on postnatal wards, and we're trying to help her out with finding some case studies of women who have personal experiences and opinions one way or the other.

If this sounds like you, please email us on [email protected] to let us know:

a) what your opinion is about partners staying overnight on wards; and
b) what your personal experience is.

Ideally, anyone featured in the piece would be comfortable with divulging some identifying details, and possibly with being photographed.

It's for a good, reputable journalist working for a broadsheet newspaper - she's keen to explore all the angles.

(If you've already contacted us about this, thanks very much - we just need to find a few more candidates and then we'll let you know how the land lies!)

Thanks
MNHQ

Hello all

Thanks very much for all the responses and to those who we've heard from off-board.

We'll point the journalist towards your posts on this thread about the overall picture in maternity care too, and why some of you feel we're asking the wrong question.

We're hoping to have the Chief Exec of NHS England on for a webchat soon, and that will be a chance for you all to put questions about the bigger picture around NHS funding and systematic problems with maternity care.

Finally - we hope most of you are aware of our Better Postnatal Care campaign; if any of you would like to join our email list of users who are kept up to date with developments and calls to action, please email [email protected] with 'Postnatal Care Campaign email list' in the subject line and we'll add you.

(We'll keep all MNers up to date with the campaign in the usual ways - discussion threads and mentions in our regular mail shots to users - but we thought it would be nice to have a dedicated email list for people who are particularly interested.)

Thanks
MNHQ
