We've partnered with First Bus to provide free travel passes for people facing transport and financial barriers during pregnancy.

Around 100 patients every month struggle to travel to maternity scans and antenatal appointments. While our specialist Haamla midwifery team provides support through home visits, attending hospital appointments is essential for monitoring pregnancies.

Thanks to this partnership, our midwives will have access to 100 day tickets each month - please speak to your midwife to find out how you can access this. Thank you to First Bus and our Health Equity team for making this possible.

The BRAIN tool is a simple way to explore your options and make informed decisions that feel right for you and your baby. You can use it in any of your maternity appointments by talking through these questions with your midwife or doctor.

🧠 Benefits – What are the positive outcomes for me and my baby?
🧠 Risks – What are the potential downsides or complications?
🧠 Alternatives – What other choices or options are available?
🧠 Intuition – What is my gut feeling or instinct telling me?
🧠 Nothing – What happens if I choose to wait or do nothing for now?

The BRAIN tool is used in maternity across many hospitals in the UK to support informed decision-making. It can help you to clearly understand your options and feel more confident in the choices you make for you and your baby.

Our maternity team are here to provide information and support as you make decisions about your care. If you have any questions about the BRAIN tool or would like support, please ask your midwife or doctor at your next appointment.

Have you had a previous Caesarean birth?

As you think about your options for a future birth, you may have questions, mixed feelings, or want more information.

Join our online education session led by a midwife and obstetrician, where you'll receive balanced information about birth options after a previous Caesarean, have the opportunity to ask questions, and explore what feels right for you and your family.

Feedback from previous attendees includes:
💬 "Really helpful session for someone very undecided about birth options after a previous caesarean."
💬 "The session felt both personable and purposeful."

We recognise that previous birth experiences can affect how people feel about future births, and you're welcome to attend whether your previous experience was positive, challenging, or somewhere in between.

📅 4 August 2026
⏰ 7:00pm – 8:30pm
💻 Online via Microsoft Teams

We are supporting the University of Leeds to share this research opportunity and would encourage eligible individuals to take part.

Being active looks different for every woman. For some, it’s getting out for fresh air. For others, it might be light movement at home or finding small ways to stay active within a busy routine.

Even gentle, regular movement can support both physical and emotional wellbeing across different stages of life.

The MAMA-Move study at the University of Leeds is exploring how Muslim women across the UK experience physical activity, and how faith, culture, and everyday life influence what feels realistic and accessible.

The aim is to use these insights to inform more inclusive and culturally appropriate approaches to supporting physical activity for Muslim women.

The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and is completely anonymous👉 https://tinyurl.com/Mama-Move-Survey
