Postnatal Care

Overview

There are three postnatal wards in the Maternity Unit: Thameside, Worcester and a Transitional Care area. We are sensitive to your needs and our postnatal facilities cater for a range of requirements, whether you have a straight-forward delivery or if you require more support after you baby's birth.
