Private Midwifery Care

Can't say enough about how wonderful Virginia and Kay are. Would recommend them to anyone planning or expecting a baby. 5 star rating simply isn't enough, they need a sky full to come close.

With Virginia you have an expert; she is an oracle of knowledge and experience for pregnancy, birth and beyond. Virginia's book ‘The Baby’s Coming' is a must read for anyone interested in pregnancy and birth. She is an Independent Midwife and you can hire her to be your midwife all the way through your pregnancy and birth and afterwards for breastfeeding support and the like. I admire her so much.

As a patient of the dressings clinic of the burns unit I was in continuous extreme pain.Although this was logged on a 1 to 10 scale there was no interface with any pain consultant.The nurses managed to show almost no empathy and the medical supervision seemed almost invisible.Although the trust Pals team were wholly supportive and encouraged a complaint nothing happened as a result of this.If a Pals team has little or no power it usually is very bad news for the patient.Getting hospital transport in virtually impossible although I was on crutches.Three letters to the Chief Executive eventually sorted the matter out.As a carer and carer governor (elsewhere) I have decades of experience at the hard end and this was just about the most negative experience of the NHS to date.The clinical lead was of no help and my local pain clinic immediately saw the seriousness of my situation and gave all possible help.The dressings clinic staff need empathy training and pain control issues need to be embedded within a training module. The service needs to be joined up with psychological input in place and patients need to be given access to detailed information about negative outcomes.

Extremely competent, polite and helpful, even at 3am! I showed up with a screaming pain in the neck and a fever so they thoroughly did blood test and were able to discard worst case scenarios like meningitis. At that point even with the horrible pain I was feeling embarrassed to disturb them for a neck spasm or something similar, but they told me I did the right thing coming in, gave me treatment for the symptoms, all of that in the middle of the night and with a smile. Huge sympathy for those guys working crazy hours for our health! Thank you again

By far the best NHS hospital that I have been to. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful and professional. Waiting time is much shorter comparing other NHS A&Es and the place is very clean.
