'The first baby born in our birthing pool'
We offer comprehensive maternity services, alongside other
women’s services, in the Rosie Hospital, which is right
next to the main Addenbrooke’s hospital:
Rosie Outpatients Department
This is an integrated gynaecological and obstetric service
for women. A team of midwives, gynaecology nurses, healthcare
assistants and phlebotomists staffs the Outpatients Department.
The multidisciplinary team supports a wide range of clinics,
including antenatal, fetal medicine, family planning, genetics,
reproductive medicine and a wide range of gynaecology speciality
clinics (more...)
Community teams
Four teams of community midwives provide antenatal and postnatal
care for a home birth service for the women of Cambridge and
the surrounding geographical areas.
Each midwife holds an individual caseload, providing evidence-based
care that is dependent upon the individual needs of each woman.
If there are no obvious concerns, women are booked for community-based
care and only attend the Rosie for their scans and to deliver
their baby (more...).
Obstetric Ultrasound Department
This Department performs dating and anomaly scans, which
are routinely offered to all women booked at the Rosie.
We also have a rapidly expanding Fetal Medicine Unit, which
provides care for women who need extra monitoring and surveillance
throughout their pregnancy.
We also have an Antenatal Diagnostic Counsellor, who is available
for all women who need support through the screening process
and up until delivery.
Maternal Fetal Assessment Unit
These services are available for women who need increased
fetal monitoring throughout their pregnancies. Our team of
midwife sonographers offer a range of tests to the women in
their care up until delivery.
Early Pregnancy Unit
This Unit offers care to women who are experiencing problems
in early pregnancy. This care can range from HCG testing to
the preparation and recovery from surgery following miscarriage.
We also provide care for women who are referred to us for
emergency gynaecological treatment. The Unit is staffed by
nurses from ward D6 and gynaecology and by midwives who rotate
into the Unit as part of their professional development.
Antenatal / Postnatal Ward
This ward has antenatal and postnatal bays, where women are
cared for by a team of midwives and maternity care assistants
(more...).
'In one of our Rosie Theatres'
Delivery Unit (including two theatres)
We have a central delivery unit with 14 single rooms, a pool
room, two obstetric theatres and a four-bed recovery area.
The Unit is staffed by midwives who rotate around the Rosie,
encouraging maintenance of clinical skills in all areas. Intrapartum
care is either midwifery led or consultant led, and we have
evidence-based guidelines that underpin all areas of practice.
In April 2005, our midwife-led Birth Unit will open on Christine
Ward (more...).
Transitional Care Ward
Staff on Sara Ward care for special-care babies together
with their mothers. Midwifery care is also provided to mothers
who have babies on the Neonatal Unit.
There are also ten special care cots within Sara Ward and
the community neonatal nurse is also based here.
NICU
The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is a 22-bed intensive care
unit for babies who require both medical and surgical care.
It is also the Lead Service for the Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge
network (more...).
