Postnatal contraception is a key priority within national maternity and women’s health policy. However, variation in training and confidence continues to impact the consistency and quality of care provided to women. MATCON™ has been designed to address this gap.
Aligned with National Priorities
MATCON™ has been developed in direct response to national policy and strategic priorities focused on improving women’s health outcomes, reducing inequalities, and strengthening preventative care within maternity services.
CoSRH Beyond Barriers Report (2025)
This national report highlights the need to make contraception ‘business as usual’ within maternity services, ensuring that every contact with postnatal women includes access to high-quality contraceptive advice and provision. MATCON™ enables this by embedding knowledge and confidence within the existing maternity workforce.
DHSC Postnatal Contraception Toolkit (2026)
The latest national toolkit places responsibility on Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) and providers to ensure that staff are appropriately trained and competent in delivering postnatal contraception care. MATCON™ provides a structured, evidence-based training solution that supports organisations to demonstrate compliance with these expectations during audits and inspections.
Women's Health Strategy for England (2026)
This strategy emphasises improved access to contraception, earlier intervention, and a shift towards preventative care. MATCON™ equips maternity teams to deliver timely, effective contraceptive support as a routine part of postnatal care.
Transition to Neighbourhood Health Services
As care increasingly shifts into community and neighbourhood-based models, maternity services play a critical role in delivering preventative care closer to home. MATCON™ supports this transition by ensuring midwives are equipped to provide consistent, high-quality contraception counselling and initiation across both hospital and community settings.
Reducing Health Inequalities and Improving Access
National policy continues to prioritise equitable access to contraception. By standardising training across services, MATCON™ supports consistent, high-quality care regardless of location, helping to reduce variation and improve outcomes for all women.
