Launch of bus for women who struggle to use traditional services

- Sentinel Reporter

PREGNANT women and their families across the city will have easier access to maternity information and health advice - thanks to the launch of a new bus.

The Maternity and Community Screening Initiative bus will make it easier for people who might struggle to access traditional services to get the support they need.

Midwives and specialist teams from the Royal Stoke will be onboard to offer advice on early pregnancy booking, screenings, vaccinations and support for those at higher risk including young women, asylum seekers, and women with learning disabilities.
