More support 

We work with patient groups and charities to give you extra support

Maternity Voices Partnership (MVP) is a group of parents, maternity staff and funders who work together to improve maternity services.

The Baby Buddy app is a free interactive pregnancy and parenting app designed to support parents, co-parents and caregivers. 

Non binary woman

We provide inclusive care

Across our maternity services

We acknowledge the use of language such as mother, women, and breastfeeding are not terms that accurately represent all pregnant people.

While care has been taken to use inclusive language where possible, terms such as mother or woman should be taken to include those who are pregnant or have given birth but do not identify as a woman.

    We will never forget the lovely sonographer lady who told us we were expecting a girl. Our midwives were professional and supportive and I cannot thank the staff enough for a healthy baby. You are stars!
