If you had a baby during the COVID-19 pandemic, we are inviting you to take part in a research interview.
The research team at North Cumbria Integrated Care (NCIC) NHS Foundation Trust are taking part in a study called ASPIRE (Achieving Safe and Personalised maternity care In Response to Epidemics). The study looks to explore the impact COVID-19 has had on 
maternity care in the UK.
Taking part will involve one interview held via MS Teams (on a mobile phone or computer) and organised at a time and date to suit you. The interview will last approximately 45 minutes and will ask you about your experiences of having a baby and the care you and your partner and family received.
If you would like to take part, please contact a member of the team:
