description

Pregnant women will have more influence over the care and support they receive thanks to the introduction of the Personalised Care Plan (PCP) to Northamptonshire. PCPs are completed and owned by women individually, and enables them to set out their values, priorities, expectations and concerns about their maternity journeys before, during and after they give birth. The Northamptonshire PCP was launched in August 2019, link below: https://www.northamptonshirehcp.co.uk/2019/09/https-www-northamptonshirehcp-co-uk-2019-09-personalised-carr-pregnant-women/

The Northamptonshire's PCP template has been developed through engagement with maternity service users as well as midwives, health visitors, obstetricians and local maternity care leaders.

The PCPs will provide a tool for women to document and share what is important to them about the care they receive and the decisions they make.
The PCP covers 'About me', 'health and wellbeing in pregnancy', 'personalised birth preferences', 'after your baby is born', 'birth reflections'. This can be completed electronically or printed.
They also give women opportunities to identify, at different stages of their pregnancy, if they need more information in order to make choices.
Bengali, Romanian, Lithuanian and Polish-language versions are available and electronic versions of PCPs are set to be developed as an option for women if they prefer.
