The Norfolk and Waveney Local Maternity and Neonatal System (LMNS)

The purpose of the Local Maternity and Neonatal System (LMNS) is to bring together commissioners, providers and service users to develop and implement a locally owned plan. The LMNS is overseen by a board that includes midwives, provider staff, consultants, NHS England, Norfolk and Waveney ICB, UEA and Public Health. The local plan aims to deliver the requirements of the NHS England Three year delivery plan for maternity and neonatal (March 2023).

The LMNS Programme is underpinned by the Better Births Vision for Maternity Services: to become safer, more personalised, kinder, professional and more family friendly; where everywoman has access to information to enable her to make decisions about her care; and where she and her baby can access support that is centred around their individual needs and circumstances.

And for all staff to be supported to deliver care which is women centred, working in high performing teams, in organisations which are well led and in cultures which promote innovation, continuous learning, and break down organisational and professional boundaries.

For Norfolk and Waveney LMNS, this translates into the following areas of work which form the basis of the LMNS Transformation and Quality and Safety Oversight Programme. More details of these can be found below.
