"We were delighted to be part of the Midwifery Unit Self-Assessment. The tool allowed us to benchmark our service against the Standards. Being part of the advisory group enabled our team to interact with our European colleagues and share the learning across all sites. The results of the self-assessment highlighted the need for more service-user involvement in decision-making and we have addressed this in our current Waterbirth Working Group."
