Short abstract
We worked with Gloucestershire Local Maternity and Neonatal System (LMNS) to support their implementation of Anya, a smartphone parenting and breastfeeding app to help support new mothers and hopefully increase breastfeeding rates in their local communities. As part of a real-world evaluation, a survey was conducted amongst NHS maternity staff to understand their views and surface any concerns in order to inform the rollout.
