I am due to give birth at the University Hospital of Wales. Will my care be affected because of the closure of the Princess of Wales unit?
Patients under the care of Cardiff and Vale University Health Board won’t be affected.
The maternity team has been working closely with CTM to make sure there are appropriate staffing levels to safely accommodate the increase in births at UHW. Providing safe, effective and compassionate care to all women and birthing people is always our priority and will continue to be so during this time.
Your antenatal and postnatal care will also continue as normal.
Will I still have appointments with my community midwife?
Yes, your community midwife will continue to be your point of contact for any queries or concerns you have.
Anyone who lives in Cwm Taf will continue to receive care and support from their local midwifery team.
