This includes two maternity sites delivering in excess of 10,000 births per year, a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit which cares for some of the most complex neonatal patients across the region, and an expansive tertiary Gynaecology service with now approaching 40 Consultant colleagues working across numerous sub-specialties.
