Maternity care

Welcome to the West Yorkshire and Harrogate Local Maternity System (LMS)

We are a partnership of maternity and neonatal service providers, commissioners, local authorities and Maternity Voices Partnerships working together to transform maternity services in West Yorkshire and Harrogate.

The national maternity review Better Births made recommendations for the planning, design and safe delivery of maternity services; how women, babies and families will be able to get the type of care they want, and how staff will be supported to deliver such care.

Across West Yorkshire and Harrogate Local Maternity System we aim to provide the highest quality care, information and advice for women, and their loved ones, throughout a pregnancy and whilst planning for a baby. We strive to be the first choice when it comes to  maternity care by offering women and their families options personalising their care to their needs and wishes. We will be supportive and reassuring – never judgemental.

We listen to, and work closely with, women and their families to make sure they experience care that is safe, responsive and respectful to their needs and wishes throughout the pregnancy and birth.

Our nationally recognised maternity services attract and retain a highly effective workforce that will be well led, innovative and will continuously learn. Working together we are implementing all the recommendations of the recent Ockenden Report, to ensure that we are continuously improving the care women and babies receive in West Yorkshire and Harrogate.

Maternity information is available on the NHS UK website.
