The infrastructure that should have existed.
MaternityLink is the employer benefit for the full maternity lifecycle — built from lived experience, with clinicians at the table.
Priscilla Addai
Clinical scientist, medical student on a deliberate detour, Ghanaian-British mother of two, and author of The Diary of an African Girl with PCOS, currently in print. During her own pregnancy, she reported reduced fetal movement and was almost not seen. That near-miss was the predictable consequence of a system that fragments records, fails to escalate, and fails Black and minority ethnic women most consistently. MaternityLink is the infrastructure that should have existed.

A structured programme behind the launch.
MaternityLink was selected for the Barclays Black Founders Accelerator 2026 cohort — a programme providing structured financial modelling, pitch strategy, and market validation support to Black-led ventures. The cohort experience directly informs how we build, sell, and scale.
The company behind the platform.
MaternityLink is a product of OurSisters Clinic Ltd, registered in England and Wales. OurSisters exists to close outcome gaps in women's health — starting with maternity and expanding into the full life course.
What we've built, in her hands and in HR's.
Every woman deserves a maternity journey that is documented, protected, and on her terms.
The supermarket worker. The teaching assistant. The care home worker. The nurse. The consultant. The cleaner. Every woman, in every workplace. That is the mission.
