Russells Hall Hospital Maternity Unit

Absolutely brilliant service from the 12 week scan to the birth of our first born on 29th November. Reassuring from start to finish, with all the first time parent worries. Your midwifery team are all amazing and theatre staff, a credit to the hospital. Especially Lucy Potter and Brianna Bate, me and my partner can’t thank them enough for what you done for us all.

Not a single complaint. My midwife Karen delivered my second baby boy and she was absolutely wonderful, made me feel at ease throughout even though my labour was tricky - truly brilliant midwife. My care from everyone was amazing. From midwives to doctors and everyone in-between. Thank you so much.

Kind and caring staff, couldn’t have done enough for myself and my daughter, midwives were amazing, nothing was too much, a very positive experience having my daughter here.

Such a hard worker staff in here, they are well organized and supportive for the patient, the standard of care is outstanding.so honored to work with them.

Just awful experience, with leaking water’s for 3days was walking around hospital trying to make labour faster because they didn’t induce me…. Walked around for another 48h…. Was asking for paracetamol for 6h and nobody give it, then said many times that I want epidural, so… after 48 when they found time for me… they induced me… I was already not understanding anything because at that point was awake for 50h and still no epidural, they asked my agreement on something but I didn’t even understand anything so no ideas what I agreed on…. Having 2doctors and 3 nurses in room I was in such pain that I was trying to run away in extreme pain ( still no epidural) I even asked for knife because I couldn’t take It anymore and said that I will cut baby out myself…. Nurse was trying to brake waters but couldn’t tthen somebody else did it…. They cut my baby’s head like 7 times when braking waters… that all continued for 5h and then when finally I was pushing, they said sorry now it’s too late for epidural, even though they knew for at least 8h that I want epidural, when baby was born I was in such state that I couldn’t hold her because didn’t understand anything… after some time ( no ideas how long) they walked out and my fiancé took baby but I went to hide in bathroom… 7 months for my baby but still I’m so traumatised… can’t see myself giving life to anymore children because of this! Only thing that I’m grateful is that my baby girl is alive and healthy, that’s why I can give 1star….

Neat,calm with polite staff ready to assist you at all times
