Pregnancy Care
We aim to provide a one-to-one care throughout pregnancy and delivery to meet the needs and expectation of women who wish to have a personal and same consultant / midwife care, and those with a history of obstetric or gynaecological problems. Our consultations are characterised by accurate and digestible information related to the progress and development of the pregnancy.
Philosophy of care
The care of each woman is tailored to her specific needs and that of her baby using the most up to date and best available evidence. This is achieved by a thorough understanding of her background history and the development of a care plan at the beginning of her pregnancy.
Consultants
Our consultants have particular expertise in the management of very high risk and complex pregnancies, whilst supporting and promoting normality in the low risk cases.
