Over the last month, we have been talking to you about your experiences of pregnancy, birth, becoming a family and caring for families in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin.

You have been really honest with us about highs and lows and your concerns for the future service.

Those of you whom we spoke to know that we have some workshops coming up. You have already told us what matters. These workshops are about helping deciding how to move forward.

Many of the families and staff we spoke to had strong views on the way forward and wanted to help local health care managers to come up with better solutions. This is what these workshops are about.

Currently we still have spaces for you to come along and we really need your input to make this review as good as it can be.

Please invest time in attending one of the workshops. It is important to us that your ideas shape the way forward.

The workshops are happening on:

  • Thursday, 14 September 10am – 12.30pm at Cabin Lane Church, The Whole Life Christian Centre, Cabin Lane, Oswestry, SY11 2LQ  (FULLY BOOKED)
  • Monday, 18 September 10am – 12.30pm at The Rockspring Community Centre, Sandford Road, Ludlow, SY8 1SX
