What we do
We offer antenatal, postnatal, and intrapartum care, including
home births, in a friendly and welcoming environment that has
received top marks in a quality assessment carried out by the National Health Service
Litigation Authority, and achieved Stage 3 Baby Friendly
Status.
Most women will have midwife led care throughout their
pregnancy, but if you have an existing medical condition, or a
concern is identified in your pregnancy, your midwife will offer
you a referral to a Consultant Obstetrician. This will be discussed
with you at the time.
Although we are happy to see emergency cases when referred by
GPs, we do not have an emergency department here.
