. . . a fresh choice in maternity care
According to the Department of Health, women should be at the centre of their maternity care. Greater choice, easier access and more continuity of care should be made available to them.
Yet standard NHS services are becoming increasingly crowded and understaffed, and the UK’s birth rate is going up. So it’s not surprising that more and more women are seeking alternatives to enhance their pregnancy, birth and postnatal care.
Traditionally, independent midwives have been a favoured option, but in these economically challenging times may not always be affordable. Also, some women may prefer to keep the NHS as their main care provider.
