Jan 11 - Montrose New Year message
Montrose midwives look forward to another bumper year at their wee unit
Safe Births
In countries where doctors are scarce, you can equip a traditional birth attendant with a maternity kit for safe births. The kit comprises soap, surgical gloves, clean sheets, sterile razors to cut the cord, plastic clips to secure it, gauze, sterile water for mopping up and a swaddling cloth for the babies. And that´s about everything required, except the babies names.
Please help us to help them
This year the midwives will buy safe deliveries kits instead of sending Christmas cards. If you would like to make a small donation we would be very grateful.
From all at Montrose Maternity Unit
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Dec 05 - Your views on our service – Montrose 2011
Customer satisfaction survey
The monthly customer satisfaction survey has continued to give the team valuable feedback during 2011. This survey has been sent to every woman who birthed within the unit and those who were transferred during labour. Once again the team are delighted to report a very high level of satisfaction with maternity care. We have managed to maintain a unit which promotes normal birth, offers women support to maintain feelings of control in labour and women report feeling safe and secure throughout.
For those women who have felt they would benefit from a debriefing we have offered that opportunity.
At present we are developing a poster which will display the 2011 results in more detail.
The team welcome feedback from our service users and are always looking at innovative ways to maintain and improve your experience so please get in touch at any time.
Question of the month
This year we developed a simple way of finding out what your views are on a wide range of topics. Each month we have a written question which you can fill in anonymously and post in a box while waiting for your clinic appointment. We have been delighted with the response which has allowed us to shape our service. You have let us know where you would prefer antenatal appointments to be, what you think of our website, what you would like included in our open evening, whether you have been made to feel welcome in the unit, whether you have had to wait too long for appointments among other things.
Again the team are so grateful to everyone who has given us feedback and we will continue to ask a question a month so look out for the post box and post your response.
Dec 05 - Montrose Open Evening
The Montrose Maternity Unit open evening on November 17th was a huge success. The midwives welcomed in the local community including many women and their families who use the service. Entertainment included a little taste of the Montrose experience with unit tours, informal chats with midwives, an introduction to homeopathy and a yogabirth demonstration. The usual delicious home baking rounded off the evening beautifully.
A special thanks to Kirsty, Lydia, Emily and Elaine who helped make our evening special and to all our guests.
Anyone who is interested in visiting Montrose or wishes to explore options for birth is welcome to telephone the unit at any time and arrange a visit.
