The Birthing Centre offers women low risk midwifery care with state of the art facilities including waterbirth pools, alongside women who require Obstetric care with associated risk factors. We also have 3 stand‑alone midwifery led units offering continuity pathways of care.

We offer a comprehensive training package as well as having strong links with local universities and take great pride in the excellent preceptorship package of which we offer to our newly qualified midwives.

We also care for people in their homes and provide services from facilities in local communities such as health centres.

We give people greater choice and control over their care to help them to live independently at home and avoid hospital admission where appropriate.
