Personalised care and support plan

This plan is for you. It will guide you through the decisions you will make during your pregnancy.

Have a read through – you may already have ideas you want to note down. Your maternity team will take you through the yellow sections at your booking appointment and the other sections at future appointments. You’ll find handy hints to help you think about each section written in faint writing so you can write your thoughts over the top.

Please remember this plan is for you and remains with you throughout your pregnancy. It won’t be seen by anyone unless you choose to show them. However, some points will be recorded by your care team on your medical notes.

What is BOB, what is a LMNS?

BOB stands for the three neighbouring counties: Berkshire West, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. We are a LMNS (local maternity and neonatal system).

We bring together midwives, obstetricians, health visitors, GPs, neonatal staff, managers, commissioners, public health, educators, perinatal mental health providers and service users across the three counties.

They all work together to make services safer, making sure they are accessible to everyone and making sure we tailor care to your needs.

On this website

  • We provide a one stop shop for service users to access a wide range of patient information and provide opportunities for feedback and comments on our services
  • We also have a staff hub which will provide a library and repository of educational and training materials.
