Abstract
The publication of the Place of Birth Study ( Birthplace in England Collaborative Group et al, 2011 ) provided the impetus for a West Midlands NHS Trust to develop a long-desired dedicated homebirth team. In 2013, Birmingham Women's hospital successfully bid and won a £750 000 Service Development Improvement Plan from Birmingham South Central Commissioners to lead a 3-year homebirth service pilot project. The aim of the project was to increase the homebirth rate and produce positive results in three key areas: improve women's experience of maternity services, signpost low-risk women out of hospital into the home setting, and improve outcomes and deliver care within tariff. This report reflects on the initial set-up and the launch of the new service.
