Lady Mary Ward is situated on Level 2 of the Rosie Hospital. Follow
the link corridor from the main concourse in Addenbrooke's, and
Lady Mary Ward is on the left-hand side as you enter the Rosie Hospital.
Lady Mary is a mixed antenatal and postnatal ward; we aim to give
continuity of care to mothers and their babies. There are 43 beds,
and we can also have up to 26 babies (when we are full).
Antenatal services
During the antenatal period, we aim to advise, support and care
for women and their partners throughout problematic pregnancies;
this usually includes a period of assessment and observation.
These women will have one of the consultants allocated to Lady
Mary Ward as their lead professional.
Postnatal services
Postnatally, we offer support to new parents, which includes
learning to care for the newborn baby. We offer advice and observation
of the normal changes that happen to mothers and babies following
delivery, and we can refer to other professionals if there is
any significant deviation from the normal. We will also ensure
that mothers and their partners know how to obtain help and support
once they are at home.
Staffing
We have a core team of ward clerks, health care assistants,
auxiliaries and ward assistants. The midwives and ward managers
rotate throughout the service, to enable professional development.
We also have two volunteer breast feeding advisors, who visit
the ward weekly.
