We strive to normalise the pregnancy and birth experience for women with both high and low risk pregnancies, excelling in the provision of high risk care for women who need it. We promote normality and are actively increasing our homebirth rate and the option of giving birth in our midwife-led unit through working towards a continuity of carer model.

You will gain a deeper understanding of fetal well-being, CTG and STAN monitoring that will embed your knowledge and help support a safe and healthy birth.
