Consultant-led care is for mothers-to-be who choose to be looked after by a consultant obstetrician. It's also for those who have a high-risk pregnancy and may not meet the criteria for midwife-led care.
All consultants who practice at The Portland Hospital are independent practitioners and will advise you on all aspects of your antenatal, delivery and postnatal care.

Midwife-led care is available to mothers-to-be who are medically and physically low risk and expecting an uncomplicated pregnancy and birth. Our team of highly-experienced, friendly and committed midwives are available 24 hours a day for advice.
During your antenatal journey you will be cared for by a team of two midwives where possible, this is in line with ‘Better Births’ recommendation. It is proven to enhance personalised, safe care and improve postnatal and perinatal mental health when continuity of carer is provided. When the time comes for your baby to be born, you will be guided through labour and birth by a dedicated midwife with an assigned consultant obstetrician on standby throughout. Our complete midwife-led package can be accessed at 10, 20 or 30-weeks pregnancy.
