We have a three bedded obstetric close observation unit, staffed by a dedicated high risk midwifery team, which admits over 60 women per month for Intensive Care Society Level 1 and 2 care. There are currently 6, soon to expand to 8, antenatal anaesthetic high-risk clinics per month and a twice monthly multidisciplinary clinic for women with cardiac disease. We have recently started a monthly anaesthesia follow up clinic in line with the recommendations of the Ockenden report. As a successful teaching hospital, there is unparalleled capacity for teaching, including involvement in the high-fidelity simulation centre, monthly in-house PROMPT courses since 2019, and for participation in research within the department as well as the wider biomedical campus.
