Liverpool Maternity Voices Partnership (MVP) is a service user centred NHS working group, supporting the development of local maternity services.
The MVP is a multi-disciplinary team made up of:
- Those who provide maternity care – healthcare professionals
- Those who fund maternity care – commissioners
- And those who use maternity care – service users, and their families
We work together as a team using your feedback to develop and improve maternity services in Liverpool.
You can find more information about what an MVP is via the National Maternity Voices website: nationalmaternityvoices.org.uk .
Message from the Chair
Hi, I’m Mahdieh Irvine-Naderali, the Chair of Liverpool MVP. I'm a local service user with two young children, both of whom were born at Liverpool Women’s Hospital, in 2018 and 2021. I’m a lay-person – which means that I am not a healthcare professional. Prior to being appointed as Chair, I was a volunteer Service User Representative for the MVP for over two years.
My first maternity journey in 2017-18 was a life-changing set of experiences for me which sparked a new interest in maternity service improvement. I am truly passionate about working with everyone in the local maternity sector to build on what is working well, and to improve what is not, and to do that, I need your help! I want to hear anything you are happy to share about your maternity experience.

Service User Representatives
Liverpool MVP are currently looking to expand our team of volunteer service user representatives. Service user representatives are people who have used local maternity services themselves within the last five years, and who volunteer to represent the interests of patients and their families in the development of services, providing a service user 'voice'. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer service user representative, or you would like any more information about Liverpool MVP, please contact Mahdieh, the MVP chair, via e-mail at: mvp.liverpool.voices@gmail.com
