Sarah Kruger - Women's Experience and Parent Education Lead Midwife
As the Women’s Experience Midwife, I champion the voices of those using our maternity services and ensure women and birthing people are heard and involved in shaping their care. I work closely with the Maternity and Neonatal Voices Partnership (MNVP) to gather feedback, co‑produce improvements, and make sure lived experience informs service development.
I coordinate and analyse experiences across the maternity journey, supporting teams to deliver compassionate, personalised, and safe care. I also work with the Birth Reflection and Resolution Team, providing a supportive space for people who wish to explore or debrief their maternity experience. I lead our Parent Education Programme and am passionate about empowering families through evidence‑based information, birth physiology, and informed choice. As an accredited Hypnobirth Midwives UK Practitioner and Pregnancy Bonding Programme Coach, I also support emotional preparation, confidence, and connection during pregnancy.
My work centres on advocacy, education, collaboration, and compassionate listening - ensuring every voice helps shape a maternity service that truly meets the needs of those who use it. |
