Birth centre opens
The Whittington is proud to announce the arrival of its new Birth Centre. In addition to the eight birth rooms in the labour ward the birth centre offers five further rooms, each with an ensuite bathroom and a double bed for women and their partners so they can cherish the arrival of their newborn together.
The atmosphere on the birth centre is calm and provides the ideal ambiance to promote normal birth. Four of the rooms have deluxe birthing pool and multi track equipment which includes a birthing stool, ball and sling to facilitate active birth.
Maggie Thomson consultant midwife says “We have been privileged to be fully involved in the planning and development of the birth centre from the beginning down to the choice of the soft furnishings. We are delighted with the finished product and proud to have the most striking birth centre in London. Opening the new centre has breathed new life into the unit which has resulted in a huge amount of interest from local women and we look forward to providing the highest quality care in such wonderful surroundings”.
