VoiceAbility are looking for groups to build a Manchester Advocacy Alliance together.

Everyone has the right to be informed, involved, heard, and to have control over ad challenge decisions about their health, care, and treatment. However, many people are unaware of these rights, are unable to express themselves in ways in which they are heard, or face situations where their choices are ignored or overruled.

NHS Greater Manchester As Soon As You’re Pregnant campaign

NHS Greater Manchester As Soon As You’re Pregnant campaign

In 2022 NHS Greater Manchester launched the As Soon As You’re Pregnant (ASAP) campaign.

Co–designed with midwifery services in Greater Manchester, the main aim was to encourage pregnant people to book in with a midwife as soon as they are pregnant, ideally before 10 weeks. This was primarily to ensure screening tests for sickle cell and thalassaemia could be carried out before 10 weeks to ensure there is adequate time for further testing if needed and to make decisions about any ongoing care that may be needed.
