The Local Maternity and Neonatal System (LMNS) is a partnership of organisations, women and their families working together to deliver improvements in local maternity services.

This Local Maternity and Neonatal System covers the populations of Vale of York, Scarborough and Ryedale, East Riding of Yorkshire, Hull, North Lincolnshire, and North East Lincolnshire. If you live in these areas we can support you. 

Women and birthing people in these areas are likely to receive the majority of their maternity care through midwifery services and obstetric consultant care through one or more of the following hospital Trusts - York and Scarborough Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust. Some women, babies and families with special requirements may need to travel outside this area. 

Our vision

For maternity and neonatal services in Humber and North Yorkshire to be kind as well as safe for all, by supporting and enabling our teams to consistently provide personalised, supportive, and informed care, with empathy, understanding and compassion.

On this site you can find information about services local to you, general pregnancy and birth advice, and information on more specialist services including post-natal mental health services. If you are a professional you can find information about local courses and training. If you have any questions you can contact us at hny.lms@nhs.net.
