Scottish Perinatal Network Governance and Structure

Operational delivery of the work is governed by the SPN Core Steering Group.  Initially established as two separate National Maternity Network and National Neonatal Network Core Steering Groups in 2020, these were combined into a single ‘Perinatal’ Core Steering Group with effect from 1 April 2023, reflecting a wider strategic shift towards more joined-up, perinatal approaches.

The Scottish Perinatal Network delivers its priorities in collaboration with strategic partners, including other national networks and organisations supporting pregnant women and families. The complex SPN stakeholder landscape is visualised in the map below.
