Abstract

In this paper we reflect on the immediate response of the maternity services in the UK to the coronavirus pandemic, and the evidence-informed developments that are now emerging (May 2020). We propose a way forward that includes seeking the views of women themselves and their families and the staff who care for them in designing safe and sustainable maternity and neonatal services in the context of coronavirus, recognising that the impact of COVID-19 will last for some years. We present a set of core principles that should be at the heart of care planning and delivery both during and after the pandemic.
