The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way that maternity care is delivered but also created opportunities for electronic information to be accessed faster. The aim of this project is to develop a system to assess how the pandemic affected maternity services, learn from the lessons and ultimately sustain the tool to monitor and innovate maternity care long term. The project will create a "traffic light system" that will alert when a unit performs worse than others. This way inequalities within maternity units will become smaller and childbirth will be safe across all units in the UK.

This work has the support of RCOG, RCM and CQC, and as one of the priorities for NHS England provides a great opportunity to further strengthen the reputation of IPHS within population health.
