A Bumper Crop of Twins
With over four thousand babies born a year, the maternity department at St Peter’s Hospital is always busy. However, between the 9th and 10th January the team was particularly hectic with the unusual arrival of four sets of twins!
Sandra Houston, who joined St Peter’s as Head of Midwifery in July 2011, said: “We see many sets of twins and even triplets delivered every year, but the arrival of four sets of twins in a 24 hour period is extraordinary. In fact, even our longer serving members of staff can’t recall it ever happening before.” ... read more

Philosophy of Maternity Care
Excellent maternity care must be comprehensive and flexible to respond to the clinical and social needs of the family. We understand that every woman, baby and family is unique and will have different needs depending on their own circumstances. As such we want to work in partnership to help the woman and her partner achieve the experience that is right for them
Offering Choice over where and how to give birth will lead to a more flexible, responsive and accessible maternity service. We will ensure that the woman and her partner have the correct information to help them reach the choice and decisions that are right for them. When circumstances mean that the choice has to be changed, we will ensure there is enough information for them to understand the reasons for this.
We will ensure that the care we give follows "best practice" and is research based. We will aim to develop an effective maternity service which meets the needs of the local population working within the national service framework. We will audit the care given and our practices and update them in the light of new evidence
We will treat everyone with kindness, understanding and dignity and will respect the privacy, religious and cultural beliefs of families. We will endeavour to provide effective, high quality communication between healthcare professionals, women and their family's which will empower them to become active partners in decision making in their overall care. Interpreting services will be provided for women where English is not their first language.
The new website for NHS SEC has now been launched and the maternity services pages can be found by following:

A Virtual Tour of the Maternity Unit
Following feedback from parents and staff, we saw that the ”turn up and tour” of the maternity unit at the weekend was not working well and was causing significant disruption for those new mums who had had their baby and for the staff trying to care for them. We were also told it was not working for those who turned up to tour and who were left feeling disappointed if they didn’t see everything they had hoped to see.
Instead, the team have produced a short DVD covering all the key areas in the maternity unit. Ask one of the team for a copy at your next visit.
For deaf viewers, we have a transcipt of the video in PDF format.
