This model of care enables the same team of midwives to care for our mums before, during and after their baby’s birth. 

This initiative was rolled out in January 2021, enabling a small team of midwives to follow pregnant women through every step of their journey with us. Allowing for seamless support from booking right through to labour and postnatal care, and most importantly it will help build strong relationships between our midwives, women and their families.  

Women will feel confident at every appointment knowing they will see a midwife they know and trust. 

There are four teams of midwives delivering the service to mums registered with local GPs.
