New antenatal maternity clinic opens at Bradford Royal Infirmary
It includes new exam rooms and a reception and waiting area
A new clinic for pregnant mum has officially opened at Bradford Royal Infirmary.
The refurbished ante-natal clinic, on level two of Bradford Royal Infirmary Women’s and Newborn Unit, is part of a £15.5m refurbishment project, which has already seen a new gynaecology clinic and maternity assessment centre created.
The new ante-natal facilities include a waiting and reception area, as well as exam rooms and greater space for patients and staff.
Midwifery Lead, Alison Powell, said: “Our newly created ante-natal clinical area on level two is more spacious and has been created specially to enhance the privacy and dignity for expectant women."
"It will see separate waiting areas with individual receptions for patients attending appointments in the ante-natal clinic, maternity assessment clinic, ante-natal day unit and gynaecological clinic.
“We hope that these new surroundings will create an even better patient experience for the women of Bradford and beyond and enhance the environment for our colleagues who work there day in, day out.”
Around 5,500 babies are born at Bradford Royal Infirmary every year.
