Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete this survey. We are keen to hear the experiences of neurodivergent service users accessing Maternity and Neonatal services in Leeds. We want to get a sense of if and when staff were supportive, if you felt able to talk about your needs with staff, and how the general atmosphere in these spaces might have impacted you (positively or negatively). All the feedback we receive will go directly to a team of midwives who are working to improve the inclusivity of their services at Leeds.
In your answers, please be as specific as possible as to where the care was that you were receiving. For example, ‘at the antenatal day clinic at the LGI, I…’, or ‘When I was on the postnatal ward at St James’s’. This is so we can target the feedback to the correct area and ensure recommendations are targeted and accurate.
