💛 Six months ago, we set out to do something simple but important - keep mothers and babies together when they need each other most.
Since launching our Transitional Care (TC) project in Exeter we’ve transformed not just a space, but the experience for families. By changing the environment and how we deliver care, more babies are able to stay with their mums, reducing separation and supporting those early moments of bonding. 💕
This hasn’t happened by chance. It’s taken a huge team effort across our perinatal services.
Today we’re celebrating what’s been achieved so far and the difference it’s already making to patient experience.
Proud of this team and our progress. And we’re only just getting started. 👏🏻
