Trust recognised in London Maternity and Neonatal Excellence Awards 2025.

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is proud to announce that our maternity service has been recognised in three categories at the London Maternity and Neonatal Excellence Awards 2025.

Our Maternity and Neonatal Voices Partnership (MNVP) was Highly Commended in the Service User Partnership category. Congratulations go to MNVP leads Abbie, Farhanah and Helen, whose commitment to inclusive engagement and innovative feedback methods has amplified service user voices. Their work has contributed to nationally shared resources, enhanced postnatal support, and service improvements that prioritise compassion, quality, and patient safety.

The maternity service was also shortlisted in the Excellence in Quality and Safety category for the Escalation Toolkit project. This initiative has empowered maternity and neonatal staff to escalate clinical concerns with confidence, supporting safer care across our services.

In addition, as part of the North West London Local Maternity and Neonatal System, the Trust was shortlisted in the Innovation in Care category for the North West London Maternity Trauma and Loss Care (MTLC) service. This trauma-informed, specialist service provides collaborative, multi-disciplinary support for perinatal mental health, ensuring compassionate care for those experiencing trauma and loss.

A huge congratulations to all colleagues working in our busy maternity units for this well-deserved recognition. Your dedication continues to make a meaningful difference to the lives of women, babies, and families across our communities.
