{mosimage} About the maternity projectMaternity services in the NHS are undergoing a period of change. The NSF for children and the white paper Our Health, Our Care, Our Say have set out a new pattern for the delivery of maternity services with an increasing emphasis on choice, access and continuity of care. View the Maternity sector pages>>> These are significant changes for the service. There is an urgent need for workforce planning principles to be applied to maternity services over the next 12-18 month period so that changes can be made in preparation for the implementation of the new Maternity Matters policy in 2009. These changes cannot happen without a carefully planned workforce development programme to ensure that units have the capacity and the skills to deliver services designed around the needs of mothers. The Department of Health has asked us to develop a range of resources to help plan the maternity workforce. This development programme will be aimed at a mixed audience involved in the delivery of these changes which will include clinicians, heads of midwifery and service management staff as well as human resources and workforce planning representatives.
