Improving maternity services – CQC

The Care Quality Commission has published Getting safer faster: key areas for improvement in maternity services.  This briefing is based on an analysis of published inspection reports, the findings from the 2019 maternity survey and discussions with providers and members of the public at a coproduction event held last year.  It focuses on governance, leadership and risk management; individual staff competencies, team working and multi-professional training; and active engagement with women using maternity services.
