"An amazing example of the NHS service!"

About: Princess Alexandra Hospital (Harlow)

Ellie allman. I've had a worrying and stressful day and was concerned I may be having a miscarriage, the midwifes was amazing! Respectful and involved me in every decision. They explained everything to me until I understood exactly. Luckily, i wasn't having a miscarriage. I can honestly say even thought the department was exstreamly busy they done every test and more to ensure I was able to leave the hospital and them be confident that I would be okay. I was never made to feel like a pain, I can honestly say they made this stressful day a whole lot easier. And I'm now more confident than ever that I'm having my baby at the hospital the midwifes deserve so much credit for their time and care they give to all patients. X
