Our maternity ward moved on Tuesday 27 August 2024
We moved our postnatal maternity beds to Sir Thomas Moore (STM) Ward, located in a building opposite Rockingham Wing.
The new ward area provides a better and brighter environment for our patients after birth, with smaller bays and ensuite bathrooms.
Moving these beds has enable us to complete propping of parts of the Rockingham Wing roof, which contains RAAC, and improve the environment of the building before reopening our maternity ward there later in the year.
The safety and experience of our patients and their babies are of paramount importance to us. Any moves to STM after birth will be fully supported by our Maternity team.
Antenatal patients will be looked after in Willow Ward on the ground floor of Rockingham Wing.
