Aims

The Perinatal Mental Health profiling tool provides planners, commissioners, service providers, clinicians, and service users and their families with the means to profile area(s) of interest and benchmark against neighbour populations (both geographical and statistical).  It can help with needs assessment and strategy development, and support decision making on the planning and commissioning of services that relate to perinatal mental health.
