develop specialist perinatal mental health services on 19th Aug

How did we start?

• Scoping document outlining perinatal MH baseline position already

drafted

• 3 Cheshire and Merseyside NHS MH providers already working

collaboratively to develop MH chapter of STP

• Brought clinicians together from each Trust to define pathways

management

• Ensured strong commitment from strategic staff in each MH Trust
• Ensured good communication between all system partners

What did we achieve?

• National funding award of £3.3m to develop a new community specialist

perinatal service for C&M

• Developed service identity and recruited staff in conjunction with people with

lived experience

• Momentum to deliver significant service improvement and improved outcomes

for women and their families

• Earlier diagnosis and intervention - women are supported to recover and fewer

women and their infants suffer avoidable harm
