About Improving Me

Improving me is a Women’s and Children’s Services Partnership aiming to improve the experience of women and children across Cheshire and Merseyside. The main goals of the partnership are:

  • empowering women to take control in decisions about the care they receive to better meet their needs and preferences.
  • Engaging in decision making about the services that are offered by working together through collaboration, co-operation, and co-production.
  • deliver safer, more personalised care for all women and every baby, improve outcomes, and reduce inequalities. 

The Webinar programme is themed around discussing key health priorities to improve women’s health and focus on key areas outlined in the LMS (Local Maternity System)

The following webinars are planned for 2021-2022. Full details will be shared in the Improving Me website and then posted on the Improving Me event pages approximately six weeks in advance of webinar presentations.
