An evaluation of the Maternity Engagement Programme (MEP) revealed that 90% of respondents involved said that without it, the sector would not have achieved quite as much positive change.
The initiative is run by the charity Tamba, (the Twins and Multiple Births Association) and ensures all mums expecting twins, triplets or more are treated in line with healthcare guidelines.
81% percent of respondents in the evaluation confirmed that care for such women had improved with the MEP, along with better teamwork and communication between healthcare professionals.
Three quarters of those surveyed agreed that the MEP had been a catalyst for positive change and had set out a greater understanding of guidelines for the best possible care in these situations.
Tamba CEO Keith Reed said: "This is the clearest indication yet that our work with maternity units has been welcome, positive and successful.
"Tamba's midwifery consultants with specialist expertise and knowledge of multiple births, go into the units to conduct the audits and feedback shows that they offered wonderful support, were incredibly helpful, focused, knowledgeable, committed and non-judgemental.
"We also have evidence to show that beyond adhering to the NICE guidance, this programme has generated additional positive outcomes, such as increasing the understanding, awareness and profile of effective care for multiple pregnancies within units."
One respondent midwife said the initiative "helped to identify the gaps".
She added: "It was really valuable. Nothing was provided for these high-risk women who end up in hospital. We were providing lots of things for lots of other high-risk pregnancies but not for these poor women, when we said that it was an eye opener."
