Our Focus

NETWORK FOOTPRINT

The North West of England has joined together to form a Maternal Medicine Network. This Network covers Greater Manchester & Eastern Cheshire, Cheshire & Merseyside, and Lancashire & South Cumbria. There are three specialist maternal medicine centres – St Mary’s Hospital Manchester, Liverpool Women’s Hospital and Lancashire Teaching Hospitals (Preston) alongside services delivered in all provider hospitals supporting the population of the North West of England.

The aim is to provide equitable and expert support for women/birthing people with pre-existing or pregnancy-induced medical conditions, to ensure sustainability of maternity care wherever in the region they may live.
