Enter and View Report Wards 205 and 206 (Maternity Unit), Royal Stoke University Hospital (RSUH)
Healthwatch Stoke-on-Trent had, during September 2019, received verbal concerns
from a few new mothers. We felt these comments merited a visit and so
accordingly these two wards within the Maternity Unit were added to our Enter
and View schedule.
from a few new mothers. We felt these comments merited a visit and so
accordingly these two wards within the Maternity Unit were added to our Enter
and View schedule.
At the time of our visit, neither of the Ward Managers were on duty but we were welcomed by the Assistant Ward Manager on Ward 206, who introduced us to Judith Davies, a Professional Midwifery advocate, who in turn explained the general purpose of both wards and informed us we were free to talk to most patients and staff. Page 2 of 15 Ward 205 is deemed to be the antenatal and transitional care ward, while ward 206 is the postnatal ward. The wards were bright, and clean and despite one being a post-natal ward the environment was quiet and the corridors and rooms seemed to have a good level of acoustic which meant it was not too noisy or ‘echoey’ in the environment, which is positive.
