This is amazing for the Borders! 😊

We are delighted to announce that we are soon ‘branching out’ and are opening a second clinic in the beautiful Priorwood House, Melrose in the Scottish Borders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🤩

We absolutely love what we do on the Isle of Man; it has been a privilege to bring private antenatal scanning and screening facilities to this area, where women previously had to travel to access these services.

It’s a similar situation in the Borders, and we very much look forward to welcoming new clients to the Melrose clinic, and save them having to travel further afield!

We are taking on a very experienced and lovely Midwife Sonographer to run the Melrose clinic and she is as equally excited to get started as we are ❤️
