The Birth Centre
The Birth Centre provides a comfortable, private, environment for healthy women in labour with straightforward pregnancies, who could opt to have a home birth, but choose to come into hospital.
The service provided in the Birth Centre is in line with the service that would be provided at home. Although alongside the Delivery Suite, the Birth Centre is equipped to run self-sufficiently on a day to day basis.
