Pregnant women value the support from a partner, relative, friend or other person through pregnancy and childbirth as it facilitates emotional wellbeing and is a key part of personalised maternity care. We have carefully considered the visiting arrangements to ensure women are supported during their maternity journey. Detailed below are the current visiting arrangements that are in place. Please ask a member of staff for more details if required.
