Our Departments

We are absolutely committed to providing high quality maternity care for women and their partners during their pregnancy, labour and after the birth of their baby. At GraceValley, We tailor maternity care to your individual needs. Our dedicated team will look after you every step of the way, from your first antenatal appointment through to our health visitors seeing you and your baby at home after birth.

During and after pregnancy, we offer both midwifery-led and consultant-led care and our teams are multidisciplinary which means all the care you need is provided within the maternity wards.

Our midwives look after women at the hospital antenatal, at local GP surgeries and children’s centres.

We provide a home birth service and hospital-based care during labour and birth. In addition, GraceValley is a leading neonatal centre and we will be able to provide the highest quality specialist care for your baby after birth if needed.

Our philosophy of care is based on respect for pregnancy as a state of health and childbirth as a normal, healthy, physiological process. Pregnancy and birth are very significant events in a woman’s life and that of her family. The care we provide will aim to respect the diversity of women’s needs and the variety of personal and cultural values that women, families and communities bring to these events. Care will be continuous, personal and responsive to a woman’s health, social and emotional needs.

We aim to keep women informed at all times of the progress of their pregnancy and likewise any issues that arise during their care. We will encourage decision-making as a shared responsibility between the woman, her family and her care givers. To facilitate this, care provision must include evidence based information, education and counselling support to enable the woman to make informed choices.
