It enables new families to stay together during a critical time in their lives whilst receiving the care they would otherwise receive in a high-dependency area. Our team of Consultant Obstetricians, Anaesthetists and Midwives have been facilitating this comprehensive training nationally since 2015. Our aim is to empower midwives with the confidence, knowledge and skills they need to meet the diverse needs of the mothers & families they care for.  Enhanced Maternal Care is here to support that challenge.
