The centre provides four new ‘home-from-home’ birthing rooms equipped to support natural labour, with birthing pools, slings and specialist couches, individual midwifery care and an aromatherapy and massage service on hand. The midwifery led unit has been designed with a separate identity from the maternity ward but is in close proximity to the specialist and emergency delivery facilities consultant-led obstetric unit if a patient needs medical care or pain relief. The Unit also has a family room with kitchen and dining room facilities, a quiet room and a post-natal recovery area.
