Maternity Services
The Road to Parenthood
Here at The Portland Hospital, we understand that having a baby is a tremendously exciting time, but can also be a little bewildering and at times really quite daunting. We aim to help all mothers-to-be to have an enjoyable pregnancy and memorable birthing experience: to prepare you and your body for childbirth, to support you from the moment you discover you’re pregnant, right through to the birth, and to give you the confidence to cope from the moment you step back in to day-to-day life.
We care for you and your baby in an environment that is designed to feel as close to ‘home’ as possible: a comfortable and relaxed setting provided within a hospital environment which gives the added reassurance of safety. Our reputation is for high quality and parent-centred care for each and every mother-to-be. We want all mums and dads to feel respected, supported and empowered at all times.
The Portland Hospital is ‘home’ to more than 80 top obstetric consultants, many of whom are considered to be amongst not only the UK’s, but the world’s leading birthing experts. Indeed, many hold senior obstetric appointments at London’s leading NHS teaching and research hospitals. Our wider team of over 300 healthcare professionals including our team of dynamic and committed midwives, resident obstetric anaesthetists, expert sonographers, obstetric physiotherapists, complementary therapists, nursery nurses, and breast feeding specialists, combined with consultant neonatologists and paediatricians are all there to support our new parents and their babies.
