Maternity - Ward C23

Last updated: Wednesday 18 September 2024

General introduction

Ward C23 is an inpatient antenatal and postnatal maternity ward. If you need to remain in hospital for a period of time during your pregnancy or after the birth of your baby, you will be welcomed to and cared for on our Maternity Ward (C23). 

The ward has 21 beds consisting of three side rooms and three bays of six beds. 

Side room use is assessed based on clinical need and cannot be booked before arrival.  

Please note we wish to support every family's infant feeding choice, however if artificial feeding is preferred small starter pack formula bottles must be brought into the hospital as we cannot provide them on the ward.

Visiting times

Specific visiting arrangements are available on the ward allowing one birth partner to visit at any time to support their loved one and allow them to rest.

Please note there are no facilities for birth partners to sleep and they are encouraged to return home if sleep is required.
