"Day Obstetric Unit"

About: Maternity care / Day Obstetrics Unit

(as the patient),

I moved to consultant-led care under Dr Henderson in Craigavon and could not be happier with my treatment. Dr Henderson, Nurse Clare and all the team were fantastic in answering my many questions and putting me at ease since finding out my baby has some kidney issues. From entering the room for the first time, I have felt my baby and I are in the best hands.

On my first appointment with the team, Nurse Claire noticed I had significant back pain and was so quick to ensure the consultant was aware, talked me through some potential remedies and made me feel this wasn't just normal pregnancy pain and I deserved to have it looked into further. Over a month later she remembered me, asked how I was getting on and made me feel so well cared for.

Dr Henderson immediately picked up on this too, organising a referral for physio and organising pain relief. Her way of explaining everything about my baby has been crucial to helping me not stress unnecessarily and understanding how he is progressing. She has such a lovely, calm approach, and takes us through the information at the perfect pace for us to process it and ask questions.

The entire team including health care assistants, the other nurses and doctors we've encountered, have been fantastic and we feel very lucky to be under the care of the team.
