We're currently updating some of our digital systems in maternity services - see more below.

We’re currently making important improvements to our digital systems in our maternity services to help us improve the efficiency and ease of some of our administrative procedures.
You may not notice or be affected by any of these changes, but some processes, like appointment booking, might take a little longer than usual while these updates are happening.
We’re working hard to make sure any delays are kept to a minimum, and thank you in advance for your patience and understanding while we work through these. Ultimately, we hope that these changes will make some processes run more smoothly for our patients and staff.
If you have any queries, please speak to your maternity team.
Thank you.
