Due to essential building work on the Labour Suite (ward 26), the Midwifery Led Unit and Maternity Triage will relocate to ward 24 on 22 January, 2024 for approximately 12 months. This will not affect any services or facilities available to you.
The start date, which was originally 4 January, was revised to 22 January.
Ward 24 can be found on the first floor pink corridor above the current labour suite. This change will affect all families that need to attend Maternity Triage, the Midwifery Led Unit, aromatherapy clinics and birth prep classes. Corridor signage will be in place and you can request any directions when you call the department before your arrival. Maps will be made available shortly, which you can receive via email or a paper copy via your community midwife or antenatal clinic.
For a period of six to eight weeks, the corridor entrance to Labour Suite (ward 26) will be closed. An alternative entrance has been created to the rear of the maternity department. If you know that you will be attending direct to the Labour Suite, such as for planned induction of labour, please familiarise yourself with our temporary entrance. Maps will be made available shortly, which you can receive via email or a paper copy via your community midwife or antenatal clinic.
We apologise for any disruption during this period of building works.
