Day Assessment Unit






Our maternity day Assessment Unit provides a 6-day service to women who require additional care, monitoring, and treatment during their pregnancy

The reasons you may need to attend the day assessment unit include:

  • having high blood pressure in pregnancy
  • the baby not moving as much as usual during pregnancy
  • you are having severe itching during pregnancy
  • you are having a problem with a Caesarean section wound after the birth

We are open Monday to Friday 8am to 6.30pm and 8am and 4pm on Saturday. Outside of these hours we advise you to contact the maternity helpline (0208 934 2802) within the hours of 9.30am and 7.30pm. Outside of these hours you will be signposted to the maternity triage.
