Yesterday we had a visit from the South East Regional NHS England team for an insight into our maternity services. It was a great day to showcase the brilliant work our midwives and maternity staff do everyday supporting families through their pregnancies and birth.

The regional NHSE team were very impressed with our maternity service and especially how passionate our staff were about ensuring they delivered patient focused care at all times.
