We offer a range of services for women, birthing people, and families before, during and after birth. We aim to work with you to ensure that the care you receive is tailored to your unique situation.

We recognise that you may have concerns during your pregnancy and we would encourage you to speak to your midwife if there is anything you would like to talk about.

We are aware that those from ethnic minority communities or from vulnerable backgrounds may need support to access our services and we are here to help. Our midwives are happy to talk through any concerns you may have and will do everything they can to support you through your pregnancy.

Head of Midwifery and Gynaecology Nicola Lovett said; "Family is our focus at the James Paget Maternity Services. We would like to ensure you have the safest and best possible birth experience you can by listening to your choices and sharing our knowledge and expertise. We continue to shape the future of our service by co-designing and developing it in conjunction with those that know it best; you, our service users. May I extend to you the warmest of welcomes to our Maternity Department."
