Giving families an opportunity to say thank you to their maternity and neonatal teams

Families Saying 'Thank You'

We are so grateful to the families who shared their incredible stories with us – it was difficult to pick just one per region! The awe-inspiring stories below demonstrate team-working, quick-thinking and excellence from health professionals in maternity and neonatal units across the UK.

“…it’s important we celebrate the little things [health professionals] do without a second thought that really make a difference to our care, and our lives.”

“‘Staff’ isn’t how I would describe the individuals working on that ward; temporary surrogate caregivers, 3am confidantes, protectors of the vulnerable and advocates of life are badges they should wear with pride”
