The Delivery Suite is supported by a level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and attracts a large number of in-utero transfers. We have a tertiary referral Fetal Medicine Unit with 3 Consultants and 3 specialist midwives. We have specialist joint maternal medicine clinics with neurologists, rheumatologists, endocrinologists, haematologists, gastroenterologists, and cardiologists. We also work closely with perinatal psychiatrists as we are one of only a handful of hospitals in the UK to have a Mother and Baby Unit on site.
