Private Midwives

13/08/2025

Private Midwives Ltd is closing.

It is with immense sadness that Private Midwives has decided to close.

During the past 13 years we have built an amazing 5 star reputation as both an employer and a care provider to multiple families across the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.

Unfortunately, the current financial and political climate has made trading conditions exceedingly tough, and it has become increasingly costly to provide the service; whilst at the same time, fewer families can afford our service.

All clients currently receiving care will be contacted as soon as possible to ensure alternative arrangements can be made for them.

We will endeavour to ensure that clients who have pre-paid for care are reimbursed for any care that has not been provided.

We will also aim to bring the business to a close with dignity, fairness and respect for our loyal staff who have been on this journey with us over the past decade. Again, we will contact you all directly and support you in any way we can.

This is a very busy time but we will contact everyone as soon as possible. For any further information, please initially contact us via email at info@privatemidwives.com

🔸 Blood in stools or vomit
🔸 Jaundice after 2 weeks

⚠️ These require urgent medical attention.

Wondering when you’ll receive results after the heel prick test?
📮 UK: Results usually arrive by 6 to 8 weeks
📮 ROI: Sent to your local Director of Public Health Nursing by 6 weeks, but you won't hear from the team unless there is a concern.

If anything is detected, your healthcare team will contact you immediately.

👉 Stay informed—ask your midwife or visit the NHS or HSE website for full details.
