Objective  To develop a core metric set to monitor the quality of maternity care.    Design  Delphi process followed by a face‐to‐face consensus meeting.    Setting  English maternity units.    Population  Three representative expert panels: service designers, providers and users.    Main outcome measures  Maternity care metrics judged important by participants.    Methods  Participants were asked to complete a two‐phase Delphi process, scoring metrics from existing local maternity dashboards. A consensus meeting discussed the results and re‐scored the metrics.    Results  In all, 125 distinct metrics across six domains were identified from existing dashboards. Following the consensus meeting, 14 metrics met the inclusion criteria for the final core set: smoking rate at booking; rate of birth without intervention; caesarean section delivery rate in Robson group 1 women; caesarean section delivery rate in Robson group 2 women; caesarean section delivery rate in Robson group 5 women; third‐ and fourth‐degree tear rate among women delivering vaginally; rate of postpartum haemorrhage of ≥1500 ml; rate of successful vaginal birth after a single previous caesarean section; smoking rate at delivery; proportion of babies born at term with an Apgar score <7 at 5 minutes; proportion of babies born at term admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit; proportion of babies readmitted to hospital at <30 days of age; breastfeeding initiation rate; and breastfeeding rate at 6–8 weeks.    Conclusions  Core outcome set methodology can be used to incorporate the views of key stakeholders in developing a core metric set to monitor the quality of care in maternity units, thus enabling improvement.    Tweetable abstract  Achieving consensus on core metrics for monitoring the quality of maternity care.
