The team recently hosted a series of 'What Matters To You' events across Lincolnshire.  The aim of the events was to hear the thoughts of families and professionals about maternity and neonatal services.

​The team recently worked with NHS Armed Forces and the Maternity Voices Partnership to launch a new pilot project in Lincolnshire.  The pilot was successful and now Lincolnshire has a permanent Military Maternity Service.​
