Fotheringhay Gynae - Service Directory

Maple is an inpatient ward for women experiencing Gynaecological and or Early pregnancy complications. Women attend Maple ward following assessment by our Gynaecology Team either as an Emergency admission via A&E, Gynaecology Outpatients or Gynaecology same day emergency care unit or as a planned admission for elective surgery.

 

Our team consists of consultants, registrars, doctors. The unit is led by a head of nursing / midwifery and a matron.

 

The ward team includes a ward sister and a deputy sister, nurses, healthcare assistants and a ward clerk. We have the support of bereavement midwives and Gynaecology cancer nurse specialists and early pregnancy sonographers.

 

We pride ourselves on giving individualised patient care, we have adopted a ‘listen to me’ campaign on the ward which is there to support our patients and relatives, encouraging them to voice any concerns they may have. Our patient experience feedback is excellent, all patient feedback is welcomed, to drive service improvement.

 

We have protected meal times, this helps to encourage the nutrition and well being of our patients.

 

We have a consultant ward round daily. All patients who have been assessed as ready for discharge will normally be transferred to the hospital discharge lounge, this enables a streamlined discharge home.

 

Mobiles phones can be used on the ward with discretion and respect for other patients in the bay. We would advise you not to bring any valuables in hospital with you, all valuables will remain the responsibility of the patient.
