Improving access to appropriately fitted equipment to support mothers expressing breast milk. A project toolkit. (v2, June 2025)

Funded by NHS England South West, Health Innovation Wessex is supporting the spread of a quality improvement project initiated in University Hospital Southampton. The project focuses on equity of access to appropriate equipment for expressing maternal breastmilk.

The aim of this toolkit, developed by Health Innovation Wessex, is to tell you everything you need to know about this project and provide you with the tools and resources to implement a similar project in your own healthcare setting.

The original toolkit was published in January 2025. Version 2, published June 2025, contains further information about flange sizing and kits available.
